I think this is a very good book, that is hard to put down. This is about Aimee who instead of getting married, buries her fiancee James on what was supposed to be their wedding day. But something keeps nagging Aimee. She can't let James go and decides to try to find out what really happened to James on the trip when he went missing and ended up death. The premises is good and both the writing and pacing are good. I like the characters and really felt for Aimee. How horrible it must have been to have a funeral instead of a wedding. When Aimee investigated the events around James' death, the plot takes some unexpected twists and turns. This book kept me up way past midnight. It was just too good to stop reading. I'll certainly read more by this author. The ending was very book. Can't wait to read book #2 of the series!

This is one cheesy soap-opera of a novel with a plain ridiculous plot. However, I feel a seed of something here, and I think the author's writing has the potential to mature, which kept me from a one-star review.

The writing wasn’t good enough to pull me into what should have been a really intriguing story. I didn’t care about anyone. Not for me.

Kerry Lonsdale is an incredible storyteller. She manages to balance a myriad of emotions without any of them seeming forced, hone characters so realistic that I'd recognize them if they walked up to me on the street, paint a picture of lush settings and all without missing a beat on the unique and captivating plot. I was fortunate enough to get an advanced copy of this book and will for sure keep Lonsdale high on my list of must read authors. Brilliant storytelling.

I was captivated. The plot was thin, a bit far-fetched IMO, but I was compelled to follow the story. I just had to find out what happened to James. Not sure if this was supposed to be magical realism or just quirky, but the cliffhanger has me wanting to continue.

I enjoyed this book as an easy read for the summer. I could predict much of the plot, but not every detail. The ending, in fact, was a bit unnerving, but it was the end, and life goes on...
