A review by kimchi84
The Bride's Trail by A.A. Abbott

4.0

I saw this advertised on Facebook so decided to get a copy, it sounded quite interesting and right up my street. Nothing wrong with a change of pace and I've been reading a lot of romance and chick-lit recently so I really needed something different. Plus I was starting to find myself in a bit of a slump. This has definitely got me out of it!
I quite liked Kat who with all of her flaws just wanted to do the right thing but got herself in too deep. She is quite naïve in some respects, she wanted to please someone who just wanted to earn money out of her.
Amy has a job and is just about getting by living in the tiniest apartment with Kat, but she soon finds out that Kat has stolen her identity for a sham marriage. I really feel for Amy as she is trying to make ends meet and Kat is constantly living the high life and spend hundreds, if not thousands of pounds on outfits she can't really afford.
Amy soon gets into the thick of the gangster life trying to search for Kat when she goes missing. Amy doesn't know that Kat has run away but genuinely thinks she's missing. All she wants to do is clear her name and get her life back.
The characters were quite addictive and I found myself turning the pages into the early hours of the morning. A. A. Abbott is a new author for me and I'm definitely going to add the next book to my TBR. I'm invested in the characters and I'm routing for Amy and Kat's brother. Amy deserves something good out of all this.
It was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of it as well as the twists and turns. Definitely worth a read!
