I give it a 3 star review. I am a horror lover however recently Ive been reading cozies and British mysteries and thought I would just read any mystery, giving them all a shot that I came across. This story takes place in Arizona and initially the cover of book 2 captured me and I thought, Id love to read the desert atmosphere and thought for sure I would love it. So I started with book one, The main character started me off on the wrong foot, she got on my nerves taking this strange girl in, trusting everything this lady had to say, almost like she fell in love at first sight with the woman. It rode my nerves like nails on a chalkboard. However, farther in, the story takes a much different turn, an improbable story surfaces, things that only happen in fiction books and well at the end, I am glad I am finished reading it. I did some skimming, but I am one of those people who have to finish a book regardless of crappy story line. I can see many people liking this book, I think because I am coming from the horror genre it didn't suit me.. Again Ill echo, I think mystery lovers will like the book. It wasn't for the, "wanting a scare or thrill" type of person. The end did surprise me. It has some great info on the top of every chapter about Glass making/blowing, that anyone interested in that would love.
