This author is a great one. She writes very descriptively, making it easy to lose yourself in the book. She wont bore you with useless details but gives the right amount to grab your attention.! You can reread this book over and over again. It is obvious that Catherine cares about her craft. I am waiting to read her upcoming books!!!
