Review: Unfortunately this book did not work for me. While the plot, even if not entirely original, has some merit to it, and the first part of the book is not all that bad, at some point silliness starts pilling up.
That Karlie seems to have very little interest in protecting herself is strange, but not overly so since she has no memory of her father. That a mob boss would need to kidnap and kill a series of women before finding his real daughter is also weird at this day and age, especially since she took a DNA test of which there are most likely records. But that that very same mob boss actually hires a FBI agent to work for him as a body guard because he believes that way Karlie will be more protected was way over the top for me. After that, I kind of lost interest in the book and just went through the motions to get to the end.
Three stars for an idea that actually had potential. No more than that because sadly the potential was curtailed by strange dialogs and even stranger characters.
Happy readings!
