well... that put me into a reading slump.
What I liked - The concept sounds pretty cool. Erynn was also a great female protagonist.
What I didn't like - The pacing was terrible. I was bored after 30 pages. The last two chapters are when the story actually picks up and then it turns out some random dude from the Fire Department is killing everyone because he was a foster kid who had it bad. It then becomes his life goal to kill the gang of very specific foster kids. i just didn't care at that point.
Overall, I wish they published an audio book for this story because physically reading this book made me not want to read anything else for a while.

Two things, why is there grass in december...why did the author go with such a ridiculous romance conclusion (pet peeve rant ahead warning.
Anyhow, I forgot repeatedly that it was the Christmas season because the author only points it out at the beginning with the Christmas decorations on the desk...then the creek is frozen, but the author said something about grass...sigh. Then at the ending it was like, oh it's Christmas eve this'll be perfect....see rant below...
I do like how Erynn basically saved herself the...second time. And how the first time was a genuine need for saving. I had issue with the third time and the logic. I have issues with the suppressor thing at the beginning. I have issues with many a thing...but for a fluff read (which it was for me) it was riding high between a 3 or 4 star review...and then that ending happened....
WARNING: RANT AHEAD
Also, a massive spoiler...
Who the hell thinks it's okay for two people who are basically coworkers, and work buddies as a result, to confess their love AND GO STRAIGHT INTO A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL AND ACCEPT IN UNDER A WEEK!!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!!! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!? Em..*clears throat* Honestly, 75% of the book Erynn is like "I can't do relationships. I'm not good enough for anyone. I have so many issues" then turns around and is like, "I've only confessed that I loved you a day or two ago. I TOTALLY ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL!!!" NO, just NO!
AND THEN THEY GET MARRIED THE NEXT FREAKING DAY!!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!! YOU GOT MARRIED WITH ZERO PLANNING ON CHRSITMAS THE DAY AFTER HE PROPOSED AFTER A LOVE CONFESSiON ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO????? I DON"T THINK SO!!!!! NNNNOOOOOOO.......UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Way to ruin a halfway decent love inspired romance suspense...ugh.
