Book Talk Review; Hook

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Elisabeth Grace, comes her most suspenseful, sexy, and thrilling book yet!

Women loathed me without even knowing my name. 

Men coveted the very idea of me.

Escort. Call girl. Prostitute. Hooker. Wh*re.

I'd heard it all. Done it all.

Over the years I'd felt a lot of things about my occupation...but not regret--never regret.

 I had my reasons for doing what I did and nothing and no one had ever made me question them.

UNTIL MARCO VALENTI.

He'd changed me and I'd naively fed into the fairy tale.

But Marco wasn't my Prince Charming. 

He had secrets of his own. 

Secrets that would eventually rip away everything I held dear.

Can I just take a moment to gather my thoughts? 

 

No? 

 

Okay then.

 

 Hook. What can I say without giving anything away? I suppose I'll figure it out. 

Hook wasn't like I was expecting. Oh, I had a good idea, but I didn't count on loving it. From the writing, to the characters, to the story overall. I don't know what sold me to this book. 

I've been experimenting, but I didn't think a book like this would appeal to me. But then, what do I know? 

I was hooked from the first page. That's all I really have to say. 

There's a sense of mystery surrounding this book, as the pieces of the puzzle fit together, the more you read the more the story unfolds. The more you crave more. 

I don't pretend to agree with everything that happens in this book, but I understand it, I don't fault it. Everyone is entitled to their secrets. But at what cost? 

That is the ultimate question. 

We're thrown on a whirlwind journey, that leaves us high and craving more. We want to root for the characters, we want to sympathize with them, but then we say we don't understand them. We don't know what to do with this book. 

We want to like it, but we also don't. 

We want to like Emily. She's doing what she thinks is best, not only for herself, but because she has to. 

But then we want to fault her for that. 

We can't understand her, at least at first. When we see the reason why she does what she does, well, then we forgive her. 

We don't want to like this book, because we know that it has to come to an end. And it does. It comes crashing down on top of us.

 

We begin to burn for Burn. 

 

Or is that just me? 

 

Either way, Elisabeth Grace knows how to keep us on our toes and I loved every second I had with this book. 

 

I respect Emily, and I fell a little for Marco. 

 

I need burn. Like now. 

 

Give this book a chance, you won't regret it.
