The Innocent One by Lisa Ballantyne
3.0
When Daniel is called to represent Sebastian, just as he did years ago, we all ask the question - did he do it? And then we ask, did he do it before?
Unfortunately, the answer comes through telling, not showing, and while the story is written well, the characters fall flat, and by the time I reached the end, which I felt was extremely rushed, I didn't really care about what was going to happen to anyone. Which is a shame, because the potential here is immense.
I didn't realise this was a sequel, but I got stuck on how little the characters resonated with me and that really affected my reading experience. I'm sure that many will enjoy this though.
Star Rating: 2.5 rounded up
