My Fiction Nook: 5 stars from RosaĮxcerpts: … That’s what I love about Julie Bozza each of her books is so different. I found this book very fascinating and I will definitely read it again.Īnd: The book was a refreshing change from the usual “m/m-fare” and had a great mix of a real thriller and romance, although with a character like Albert I am not sure if romance is the right word… -) One problem I had was that I was missing some explanation for why Albert was the way he was. All the characters have depth and are complex which made them very realistic. The part I enjoyed the most was the love story between the two main protagonists. At first I was a bit shocked that it has almost 700 pages but once I started reading I couldn’t stop. Judges’ comments: A very gripping thriller.

(The original novel came equal third in this category.)
