What
i thought of the cover: What a gorgeous cover this is :] I Love how the colours
are coordinated and i love the metallic pink colour of the text. I just adore
how there’s the circle around the trapped bird in a cage and another around
Rhines hand where the wedding ring is to show that's she trapped. I also like
the models hair and makeup though i don't like the skirt of the dress unlike
the rest of it. Apart from that one thing i absolutely just love the cover
so...
I
give this cover 4.5 out of 5 stars
What
i thought of the story: For a while now I’ve been wanting to read this book
having heard quite a lot of good reviews to this already very popular story.
I’m glad to say I’m also one of the people who would sing this book’s praises
as I just could not put it don’t for the need to know what was going to happen
next and how. To be in Rhines situation is one I just couldn’t and wouldn’t
want to imagine myself in just the thought of being kidnapped gives me the
creeps. I also love the villain Vaughn for he just plays his part almost too
well with that terrifying sense of you don’t know what and where he could
strike at any given moment. There’s also the fact that Rhine pities her husband
who’s supposed to be the bad guy too and the forbidden love interest with
Gabriel the servant which I got excited every time there was a moment between
these two Instant fan girl of course. The other two wives were interesting
characters in their own right as well and they give that book a wider
prospective of what it’s like to live in a world that has become like this. I
defiantly can’t wait to get my hands on the next book and so…
I
give this story 5 out of 5 stars
I
just can’t stop thinking of bubble baths now sigh
