Review:

Lately I have been reading romance novels and not thrillers or mysteries. I decided to pick this book up as I recently signed up to be a tour host with this new Canadian book tour company and one of my reading goals this year was to step outside of my comfort zone.

I am really glad I picked up this book for review. It is a great medical mystery. The author did a great job forming this storyline. If you are looking for a really suspenseful/thriller type this is more of a subtle type manipulative type storyline. A twisted romantic love story. I really liked Bret's character along with his uncle Hubie. Mai on the other hand was one character I wanted to shake throughout the book. By the end of it I was so heart broken for what Jake and Mai but Bret through but so happy that Hubie's PI was on Bret's side. A bit of a Shakespeare romance.

I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It is a quick read.
