READING. RANTING. RAVING.
“I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.”

"It's not that things don't make sense to her when she's like this — sometimes they make 'more' sense. They make sense the way dreams do. It's only when the dream is over that you see how odd it all was, how it actually didn't make sense at all." Start Date : August 29, 2016 End Date : September 3, 2016 Actual Rating : 4.7 / 5 I was looking at pre-order price of Empire of Storms at Barnes and Noble when I noticed that it has already made their best sellers list. I went ahead and checked the other books on their list and two of them caught my interest. I was extremely intrugued by the premise that you don't really know anyone ... Even those closest to you. The story starts of in a party with two couples, one pair are the hosts (Cynthia and Graham) that welcomed the first time parents (Anne and Marco) into their home. It seems everyone was drunk but only Cynthia and Marco are the ones enjoying the party. So after much introspection, Anne decided she has enough and would like to go home next door to their baby Cora. With Marco following her lead, they went home to an unlocked front door and an empty baby crib. This is where the story gets interesting. The story mainly tackles on how each character is connected to the crime and how they can be guilty of it. At first, the story focuses on the distraught couple, Anne and Marco. The incident causes each of them to disclose a part of their past that the other does not know about and this past makes them a pretty good suspect.
But as the story unravels, more people are pulled in the crime and the story isn't as straight forward as it is. This is an actual page turner. I was anticipating who the real culprit was and there are lots of twists that kept the story interesting. There were a lot of unpredictable incidents that, for me, sets this story apart from other mystery-thriller books out there. Another plus is the ending. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Tell me if you've read this too and what did you think about it. If not, are you including this to your TBR list?
