The grapes of wrath

4.5 Stars

Every book I have read by this author has been been just fantastic, and this book was no different. Even the one small issue I had with it was because I am a grudge holding bitch and felt that Nico needed to do some serious grovelling after the second time he thought the worst about Ava. (lol)

 
Apart from the above mentioned issue, this was was a complete hit with me. The writing was excellent. I loved that it was on the longer side so the story felt suitably fleshed out. It was well paced. The plot was engaging. There were twists and turns. Murder and mayhem. Secrets and lies. Hot sex. No OW or OM drama. It was fairly light on secondary characters, but there were a couple I wouldn't mind reading more about. Ava was an AWESOME heroine. Smart. Feisty. Strong. Nico I liked a lot, but I never 100% warmed up to him. I think he thought the worst of Ava WAY too easily at times. That said, I wasn't expecting Mr. Rogers, and he DID have his moments, so it was just a small niggle for me. Last, it was all wrapped up in a sweet ending that put a smile on my face.

So yea, not much left for me to say. I loved it. I recommend it. I also what to thank Miz Kenborn for gifting me a copy of this book after a rather unpleasant run-in saw me being removed from the reviewer list for this series. She is a class act and a total sweetheart.
