My Review:

This was a great medical drama that had a lot of interesting medical facts. There was also murder, a messed up couple that deserve each other and a naive man that wanted to believe Mai. Bret was my favorite character, especially when he started to realize Mai's true personality. I also liked that the author wrote about oral surgery. I could tell that he knew a lot about that subject, and his knowledge made the book more realistic. I also want to mention that the author is from NorthEast Connecticut, and he is actually from a town that I have been in before! The anti-Jew plot reminded me that there are all kinds of racism and hate in the world. It was interesting to see how Mai would rather lie and disrupt so many lives then to stick up for the man she loved. Although maybe she was afraid that her love would get killed. This was definitely an interesting book. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
