As the story is full of twists<br \/>and surprises, I do not want to give any more of the story away than is stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px;\">This is the first book I have read by the author and enjoyed her writing. Her prose is vivid and you<br \/>don&#8217;t have to guess what she is describing. Ms. Alonso-Sierra has a gift with words and it makes the<br \/>book a pleasure to read.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px;\">There is never any doubt as to the setting. The story takes place in different continents and<br \/>you move with the characters never doubting where you are.<\/div>\n<div style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px;\">The plot starts out a little slower than I would have liked, but picks up and moves at a<br \/>steady pace, making you want the story to continue.<\/div>\n<div style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px;\">My only suggestion to the author would be to fix a few point of view issues. There were<br \/>several times I had to stop reading and go back to see whose POV the story was in, thus<br \/>pulling me out of the story. Though this did not stop me from reading the book.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/R2QWTPBWX0Q8D1\/ref=cm_cr_dp_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00R0IAOME&amp;channel=detail-glance&amp;nodeID=133140011&amp;store=digital-text#wasThisHelpful\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;
