The Guilty One by Lisa Ballantyne
2.0
I wanted this book to make an impression on me. It had the potential to but since I started this review back in May and then forgot about it until I just stumbled upon it today, I have to say that this one just faded away. It had potential. The story flip flopped back and forth between when Daniel was a child to modern day when Daniel is defending a boy who reminds him of his past. I liked the premise, I even liked the beginning but somewhere along the line it fell flat.
The story seemed predictable and ultimately it is more about Daniel than it is about Sebastian. Did Minnie betray Daniel out of misguided love? The lack of details left me not really caring that much. Since this is Lisa Ballantynes first novel I hope that her next ones give us a little more to sink our teeth into. Characters that aren't memorable don't last, and neither do the writers who write them.
