This is my sixth SMG book and I still haven't formed a general opinion on her works. It probably doesn't help that she writes books in so many different genres. Like most of her books, the pace was slow, and unfortunately, the blurb alone already tells you what to expect, so it wasn't very thrilling or surprising.
There are two things I love about SMG's books, and luckily those two things were in here. I love her writing, especially in terms of the atmosphere, and her main characters, whether I like or dislike them, are always so well-developed. I especially like the interaction between characters - I truly believe this is SGM's strong point. While reading, it just felt like I was living in that tiny coastal town, locked up and unable to escape.
The ending didn't make the most sense to me. I suppose it was Gregory's betrayal that did it, but before that, everything she'd done, the lying and deceiving, had been for Gregory. Even then, she was always doubting her decision. It doesn't make complete sense to me that she would do something that has such violent consequences, and in turn, keep deceiving Lawrence.
There were minor spelling/editing mistakes, which didn't really bother me, unless words had accidentally been left out, which happened once or twice.
I would definitely rank this in the 'I liked this' category rather than the 'neutral' one, and it hasn't deterred me from picking up SMG's last book before I'm all caught up and ready for the newest release!
