I really liked this one. I do wish that the writer would’ve included one chapter at the end from Owen’s perspective bc I would’ve loved to hear his side of things. But, overall, the story was great.

2.5 stars. It was just OK. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.

Started off so good, but then once it was all explained, it got to be pretty boring, so the last 1/3 really dragged for me.
I didn't really care about any of the characters. I found Bailey to be very obnoxious.
The US Marshall, Grady, is introduced like he'll play a bigger role, but then...he doesn't. He supposedly has all this information about Owen, but never reveals any of it. He is very much trying to get Hannah and Bailey into witness protection at the end, to the point it seemed like he had a vested interest, but then...nothing comes of it. We are told several times that Owen did bad, horrible things, but we never find out what any of those things are. Hannah throws away her whole life for her two year old marriage, to a guy who lied about his whole life.
If Owen was so interested in protecting Bailey, why not bring her with him? It didn't make sense. The bit at the end was kinda stupid also, how she briefly sees him at the convention.
I didn't enjoy this book. It was good up until it was revealed what Owen's secrets were and why he was doing what he did.

Unsatisfying ending, but it will probably grow on me iover the next few days.

This was more of a 4.5 for me. It was a struggle in some parts as the story seemed to get drawn out a bit much in areas. And I had to reread the pages that explained who Owen really was…it wasn’t clear to me the first time through. The ending was kind of predictable too. Overall, though, I did enjoy the book.
