My Review:
For some reason it took me a while to get into this book. I think I got into it around a quarter of the way through. Once it hooked me though, I could not put it down!
Jo is not my favorite character of all times. She seems rather selfish to me. I don't mean that she is a bad person or anything. It just seems that she thinks a lot about herself and doesn't put a lot of thought into the ones that care for her. This makes her pretty believable as a character, actually. If you think about it, don't many of us think about ourselves first and foremost. We don't intend to, it just seems to happen that way. Or is it just me?
Her boyfriend seems to be the same sort, mostly. I understand he has a demanding job and other issues to deal with, but the way he responds to Jo makes him seem a little self absorbed. He doesn't seem to give her the support she needs him to.
It isn't the characters that really make this story pop though. It is the confusing, twisting, constantly escalating story line. It starts simply enough. Jo gets her stuff stolen while on vacation. It all gets a little bizarre when it seems no one believes her. She tries to enjoy the rest of her vacation, but she thinks she sees the woman that stole her items everywhere she goes.
Once home everything escalates quickly. Things are confusing for Jo as she tries to figure out why this woman seems to be stalking her. Was she someone from her past? Maybe and ex-client? Why does no one seem to believe that Jo might actually be in danger?
This is a must read if you like books that keep you guessing. Every time I thought I had it all figured out, another twist was thrown in that made me rethink everything. After a pulse pounding climax, the author manages to throw in another surprise or two. It was great and definitely worth the read. I give this a solid four star rating.
