As I've said before--to each their own
I found this book completely stupid! in every respect, in the first 50 pages you don't have a clue what this book is about and by page 100 it wasn't much better, not my kind of reading, I want a book to start good and keep going, this one falls flat in everything!

What Doesn't Kill Her is a well-written and engaging romantic suspense novel. It is fast-paced with plenty of action. While What Doesn't Kill Her can be read alone, but I highly recommend reading Dead Girl Running first. The summary just does not do Kellen's situation justice. Rae is the highlight of What Doesn't Kill Her. She is an active, intelligent and sassy little girl. Her witty dialogue will have you chuckling along with her obsession for pink, purple, heroes and her princess dolls (the poor dolls). Rae has just found her mommy and she has no intention of a lack of bonding get in the way. These parents are going to have their hands full with the spunky and mischievous Rae. Kellen should have known not to take a job from Nils Brooks. He deserves everything Rae, Max and Kellen dish out. I started reading What Doesn't Kill Her and just kept going until I reached the end. The book is character driven with plenty of action. Christina Dodd created developed characters that suit the story. I can understand why Kellen hid under the bushes to avoid Rae at times as well as the large Di Luca clan. There is a funny scene where an event is planned under the same bushes. Avid mystery readers will be able to pinpoint the evildoer, but I loved the chase. I like that when bad things happen it is not described in gory detail. There is foul language sprinkled throughout the book (just letting you know). I do want to warn readers that we are left with a cliffhanger at the end of What Doesn't Kill Her (and we must wait until October). I am giving What Doesn't Kill Her 5 out of 5 stars (I loved it). I enjoyed the suspense, action, intrigue, humor, mystery and romance in this thrilling adventure. Not many writers can create a book that makes a reader feel a range of emotions. I cannot wait to read Stranger She Knows when it releases in October. Buckle in for another exciting adventure with Kellen and her sidekick, Rae in What Doesn't Kill Her.
