Returning
to beautiful Bali and reliving a nightmare was something Jamie had to
do. The previous year she was injured in and her boyfriend was killed in
the bombings in a night club in Bali. She
still hadn't forgiven herself for saying no when her boyfriend, Miguel, asked her
to marry him and for being the cause of Miguel's running into the night club
that was bombed. Jamie also had another mission. She had to find Gabe, the person who saved
her and helped her heal.
The book went back and forth in time right inside a sentence or paragraph...very clever. It was a bit tricky to keep track of what was going on, though. The writing was mostly dialogue. Each character had a death to deal with whether it was a child's death or another loved one, and each character felt responsible for the death.

This book was won in a giveaway on Library Thing's website and in exchange for an honest review.
It was a quick read, but not my normal genre of interest.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely setting for the book.

I don't always like it when books jump around and keep the reader guessing. Sometimes a really accomplished author can do it just right, but in this case, it sounds as if there was just too much confusion. I can see why this one wasn't a favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis one does sound good...love that cover, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts.
Interesting review - it's helpful to know your reservations. They can't all be great books can they!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting story line, too bad it was just o.k.,
ReplyDeleteThe premise sounds really good, but it didn't seem to grip you. Maybe I'll skip this one.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice read. Thanks!
