Not bad. Was a little predictable at times but I did really like the ending twist. Not bad for a short book

It was a fast and pleasurable read, until the last few chapters. It wasn't unpredictable but there was still a little suspense. I can't deny my indifference to the main character but she wasn't entirely annoying.

*3.5 Stars* It was a good read, but the whole falling for the guy in three days thing was too Romeo and Juliet for me and I never liked their story. But I liked the spunky protagonist and how cute Noah was. I like the relationship between Danny and Cadie, but the whole murder had a stupid reason without giving us valid reasons for his actions. Good read, but not the best I've read by this author.

A must read. Hundred percent recommended.
This novel blew me away.
Not only was it an absolute page-turner, but the mystery and thriller aspect of it just made it irresistible. The characters were super interesting and I absolutely adored the blend of romance, sexiness and action. The characters were super interesting and well-developed, giving the story it's alluring nature. Cadie was so interesting and I loved reading about her. Her interactions with Noah and Matt just seemed to good to be true and even though she became traumatised over the incident in Flamingo City, I'm really happy that she ended up where she did. I really, really hope she and Noah stay together.

I will read anything Trish Doller writes, and yes, I read this one in a day. It's hard NOT to.
This is was so well done as far as thrillers go AND it would make a great movie.
Did I have a hunch who the villain was, yes, but Trish Doller did a fantastic job of keeping me on my toes and second guessing myself so it didn't bother me. If anything, it made it impossible for me to stop reading until I was 100% sure my prediction was correct. This also meant I didn't get to bed until well after midnight. Thanks for that, Trish! ;)
One of the things that Trish Doller gets right in every single book (at least, in my opinion) is the father-daughter relationship. Not only are her dads present, they're involved in their daughter's lives. They CARE about what's happening, who they're friends with and who they date.
Cadie, like all the rest of Trish Doller's female MCs, has a good head on her shoulders. She's intelligent and strong, loves her family and cares about the people around her. Life has caused her to make a few detours off the "normal" teenage path, so I was not at all surprised to see her jump at the chance for a little rebellion and an adventure. I did arch a brow over one choice in particular, but I don't want to spoil anything.
The end was really gratifying and I can't wait to see what Trish comes up with next!
Favorite Quote(s):
"He doesn't smell like citrus or a pine forest or any of those things boys smell like in books."
"And you haven't really lived until you've experienced the Ring of Fire." "On the other hand, I haven't really died, either."

I read most of this at work today, and ignored all of my tasks, and customers to do so. No regrets!
This was another winner from Trish, and I'm already dying to reread it, and her other books. Ugh, so good.
And when does her next book come out? I need it immediately!

Reading this book reminded me of watching Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars- a bit predictable, shaking my head at the MC's thought process, and gorgeous guys and romance. Definitely a guilty pleasure, but a fast, enjoyable read.

I saw the big twist coming immediately, but it held my interest and was an enjoyable, quick read.
