One - Jane Blythe

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Jane Blythe!

Did I absolutely love this novel? No, but I did quite like it. I an going to start off by what didn't work for me. 

First, I thought that there was too much attention put in Vanessa when she had such a small role to play in the story and its development. It puzzled me throughout the book why this character was being paid extra attention, and when I got to the end of the book, I was expecting a huge reveal about her.

Secondly, and this is just personal, I am usually okay with gore; like more than fine, but man the crime scene description made me queasy! Girl, you've got some talent there. If only it didn't weird me out so much.

Now off to the good stuff! 

I really enjoyed the romance aspect of the book. Nothing felt forced about this relationship, and both parties felt real; battling their demons like normal people. They weren't strung up on this super passionate love affair, but on a connection based love which was a refreshing change.

In addition, Blythe's writing is well structured and formulated, spending just the right amount of time from one narrative to the next whilst keeping the reader interested. I was impressed at how different the personalities of each of the narratives were and how well the author executed them; especially the murderer - man was he ever deranged. 

Thank you again so much Jane for the opportunity to review your book!
