Liked this book tremendously.  It tugs at the all the right heartstrings.  I'm a sucker for family angst, and when kids are involved it makes the experience so much the better.  This is one of his better stories with rich characters, believable plot twists, and no slow points at all.  I'll be reading this one time and again.  I read a copy a received for review.

Have been meaning to read one of this authors books for a long time. Finally got around to it. Enjoyed it very much.  Great characters and interesting story line. Kind of reminded me of Stephen King. I am definitely going to read some of his other books.

I enjoyed this book tremendously.  The characters were believable, I found myself comparing them to people I know!  It was worth the money I spent and it was well worth my time.  It's paranormal but more realistic than the other books I've read in this genre.  I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I have.  I'm looking forward to reading book 2!

I enjoyed this tremendously. And not because it described sex scenes. I thought it gave great insight into her concepts on writing. Much more was associated to the emotions involved than the actions. One of the best excerpts dealt with the scents that Jamie picked up from Claire as he sniffed her beginning with her fingers, which had the odor of onions and garlic. It made me more aware of how much she includes the odors the characters smell. A much better read than for just the sexual stuff you might expect.

Enjoyed this book very much.  Great storyline and interesting characters.  You could feel the love and closeness even during the rough times.  Mom Olivia was definitely a sweet character that endured quite a life.

The story of Toy was a point on example of how hard it is for someone to survive in an abusive relationship.  How the victim always says to themselves "but I love him/her and I know he/she loves me and he/she didn't mean to do it".  Meanwhile everyone else can see it but the victim lives in denial.  Sad!!

Was very interesting to read about the turtles and the amount of work that goes into keeping them alive from birth.  Glad it was part of the book.

Am anxious to read more of Mary Alice Monroe's books.  I recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Lately I have been a super picky book reader, not able to find one that held my interest. But this book did it! I loved it and it made me want to keep reading until the end. I was a bit weary of the issues the characters had and I wasn't sure I was going to like them, but they both ended up extremely like-able. Super read.

Enjoyed this book tremendously. The author does a great job of creating a whole family of characters that you care about, and a strong protagonist who right away grips your heart with her heart-wrenching reaction to a car accident. I can't wait to read more in this series.
