Stacy's Reviews > The Distant Hours

I have recently finished reading this book and I just loved it! I had it finished in a week. A few times a got a little frustrated wanting to know the secrets but the wait was well worth it. There are a lot of secrets in this book.

I was worried it wasn't going to stack up to her two previous books due to some 'not so good' reviews I've read and heard. This book is a lot darker than her other two, but similar in the switching back and forth from the present to the past. Again, I love the way she tells a story and this is a fabulous story to read. Remember though, it is a dark book and she does take her time building the characters but it was one hell of a read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
