My Review:
What would you do if you lost everything? What if you were responsible for a family? What if someone offered you a 7 bedroom, 3 story house with fireplaces and Jacuzzis, and money? Not to mention a really nice car. What would you be willing to sacrifice?
What if you were a teenager and your parents accepted the offer of money and housing? Would you agree with your parents and do what they say, or would you run away? Who would you take with you? Would you even try to save your parents?
This was a really exciting read for me. I Didn't know what was going on and who was who. What is Kythera, and how many people are involved? Casper is surrounded by Kythera owned businesses and people. She doesn't know who to trust.
Once she gets involved with Cal, she sees more of the town, and more of Kythera pasted everywhere
I was hooked! I needed to know who was in charge of Kythera and what they wanted with Casper's family. I am giving this a 4/5 because there is a cliffhanger at the end, and I didn't have closure. I will be reading the next book in this series though to find out what happens to Casper!
The book itself was an easy read and I enjoyed the plot. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!
