This book was so good. I loved how the author had a thriller but twisted in sections of romance. There were plot twists that had me gasping and scenes that put me on the edge of tears.
I really enjoyed how the theme of bees was wound through the whole book and not thrown away after the first chapter like most.
However I felt that the ending was a bit thrown away, it was building and then the last bit of information was given and forgotten about.
I want to know what happens between Mike and Olivia, I want to know how Maya deals with the guilt of knowing she should be charged with manslaughter (at least), I want to know how Asher does at college, how Boris finds the AT, what did Braden do after leaving the court room???
