I was just recently introduced to this author, and now I am hooked. Intrigued by the details of medical practice, surgery, and hospital procedure, this book held my attention by creating a world full of developed characters, and a plot that has several twists and turns. When you reach the last page, not only are you surprised by the resolution, but you don't want it to end. Sequel please!

Im hooked.

I almost didnt request this title when it came up for review, but something about the plot had me coming backand let me just say now: in absolutely no way was I disappointed.

In a brand new novel straight from the pen of a medical doctor, comes the thrills of a mystery centered around a womans new heart transplantand the memories that have arrived with it.

The style in which this novel was written was different for me. I almost expected it to keep me, as the reader, at a distance, but instead I had the exact opposite invitation. The characters are fascinating, the plot gripping and the twines of mystery that braid the story together kept me turning pages as quickly as I could read.

I fully expected to dislike the heroine Tori, every other character in the book did, so why should I? But she quickly became the character to love. When strange and mysterious things start happening to her, each one ties into the plot in a larger manner, until I was so taken with solving this mystery I didnt want to stop reading.

There wasnt a single angle of the story I didnt enjoy. A taste of romancemore than layer of well thought out suspense and characters that ultimately changecombinations of a great novel.

Im a new fan. Cant say it better than this: hooked.

This review is my honest opinion. My copy was a free ebook as the review copy from the publishers didnt happen to arrive in time and I was too eager to wait. ;-)
