It is obvious did Ms. Menden knew where she wanted to go with the story. For a new author she writes very smooth and flowing sentences, good dialogue and (even more commendable) very good characterization. Her world is different but feels very real, not at all like a comic book superhero despite the angle. Ms. Menden takes her characters seriously and lets them deal with Their emotions in a grown-up way. And I really loved that she threw me for a loop When it came to the romance! When I started to read I thought I knew with Whom Mindy what going to end up. But it turned out differently When it was just perfect and I loved it! It is unusual in a romance novel That You do not know from the beginning with Whom the heroine is going to end up (though for everyone who does not like that you can guess about one third into the book, so it's not a back and Forth Throughout the story, I would not have liked that Either).
Still the approach to romance her what unusual and I have to give kudos to Ms. Menden for daring to write a unique story in more ways than one! I will definitely be on the look-out for Further books by her!
