I really enjoyed this book. It had some slow
patches, but not enough to deter you. While it can pass as a stand alone book,
it left me hanging. I wanted to know how the main characters relationship would
pan out. It left them solving the mystery, but still facing danger.
As soon as I
began to feel a sense of phoniness with the responses they received while
investigating, it began to become more realistic. I did however feel that the
main character’s actions did not match her age, but hey…you're only as old as
you feel.
I’m not one to carry a grudge, nor have I
experienced sibling usurping, so I know my opinion is biased, but I thought she
was too old to still be feeling the “I hate my dad cause my parents divorced
and that’s not my sister” thing. The author laid the issues on thick though to
kind of validate her actions. Even if she felt it underneath, she was too old
to be acting so petulant about it. The good thing is that the situation made
her realize it wasn’t worth it.
The author did a good job of betraying the main
character, Amanda, as a hard-ass and she made me loyal to Chad. Good job with
character development!
Patiently awaiting the next installment. There is an
excerpt at the end for it and it is definitely a cliff hanger.
Tourist Trapped: Book One in the Trapped trilogy
Crackerjack divorce attorney Amanda Sloane spends her life defending the soon-to-be-ex-wives of Chicago’s upper crust, but her orderly world begins to crumble when her estranged father persuades her to help search for the half-sister she’s resented for thirty years.
Amanda drags along computer-geek-turned-attorney Chad Cooper, and together they chase across the Yucatan, pursuing an ever-changing string of leads. On their trek through the tropics, the duo encounters treacherous alliances, attacks on their associates, and a deadline for a hefty ransom.
Amanda digs up more than clues when their search collides with the past she believed long buried. Old memories chip away at pretenses, threatening to crush Amanda’s carefully constructed life.
Time is running out. When the bullets start to fly, Amanda and Chad wonder: who will escape Cancun?
