1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. a very suspenseful read By Patricia statham Right from the first page I was intrigued by this book. Maggie is a young lady that has been all over Europe with her parents. But tragedy strikes as she heads back to her boarding school. Her parents are killed and she is left an orphan. Her best friend Graham is there for her helping her through it allThen Maggie gets a roommate and Sarah opens her up to so many new things like dating and having fun. Then one Thanksgiving Maggie's life alters and she becomes the deer in the headlights of Sarah's brother . A crush soon turns into terror for Maggie a terror that Graham can't even save her from. Even traveling to Spain doesn't give enough distance between Maggie and her stalker . As she makes a life there she reconnects with her mother's family and finds true love . But will that be enough to keep her safe and alive. The author takes us on an adventure with Maggie , from all over Europe to Virginia back to Spain. The characters were well written and you got to watch them grow as you read . At the beginning you see Maggie as naïve young woman , who even though travelled all over Europe was still kind of naïve about things. She had to grow up fast and you start to see that as she and Sarah start hanging out. You really see her start to mature as she goes through all the hell that she went through. You see come out the other side a very strong woman, knowing what and who she is . I truly liked her and wanted to see her come out the other side stronger and wiser. The character of Graham is a likable guy who loves her as a best friend an first love. They are so sweet together and who never forgets their first love . He would do anything for Maggie and does. He protects her and listens to her . he is just a sweet all around guy. The rest of the cast of characters are so diverse and are there to help Maggie when she needs it . She can count on them to help her out when she needs it. Over all I really liked this book. The characters were brilliant and the story line flowed well . But a times I felt a little disconnected with Maggie, like how she started the book with Maggie being 15 at the start and be in her twenties when she is in Spain. I just felt like wow what a jump. The author has us on the edge of our seats as we read, from her student years to Spain and Maggie as a spy. I want to hopefully read more about Maggie as a spy, she would be so good at it , I think. Over all the story is really good and will have you crying and throwing your book at a few spots. Trust me you will cry both tears of sadness and tears of joy when you read her story. You will turning pages well into the night and wondering how Maggie got through it all. And found love and family despite all the hardships and terror she went through . This is the book for you, it will give you a book hangover , trust me I know. Hope to read more from this author and soon

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Emotional-Action Packed Coming of Age Novel By AvidReader923(@Hey, It Was Free!) Right from the beginning this book had me in tears, the main character is so young facing such terrible loss and situations that no one should endure. It's through the entire story that the author has her character grow-up into a strong female who instead of cowering in fear of her attacker, fights back to live the life she's always dreamt of, full of love, family and friends.Growing up all over Europe, 15 yr old Magdalene "Maggie" Curran, is sent to a private boarding school in Virginia for the first time as young high school freshman. Up until then Maggie's life had been just her and her loving parents living around Europe and her mothers home country of Spain. Then tragedy befalls her parents leaving Maggie an orphan in a new country. However, it's then that Maggie finds she is not truly alone as her best friend Graham Ashford steps in to be with her night and day. Over the next years Maggie grows up and finds out what falling in love is like, but she also finds out the dangerous side of "love" when obsession is mixed in. The brother of her new best friend/roommate during Maggie's junior year becomes a violent stalker with his sole intent on making Maggie only his; so to truly escape him Maggie knows she must make a clean break and return to Spain. While in Spain, Maggie enrolls in the university of University of Malaga, and begins searching for her mother's family. Her time in Spain leads to a reunion with a family she never thought she'd find and a new relationship she'd only dreamed of, the only thing is her past is still haunting her present and if she wants a future Maggie will need to decide to take flight or fight.Overall, I liked the book. The main character is definitely a strong female despite everything that occurred to her, Maggie in the end came out stronger than ever. There are only a few things which could deter ones love for the book. The writing style of the book is more like a movie script or screen play than a contemporary novel; however, if the reader takes into account the perspective which isn't always told from one character but from the narrator writing Maggie's story over a span of years. Which is how Maggie can begin the book at 15 and end the story in her early twenties. Plus without this format a reader wouldn't experience the awesome imagery of Spain or spy like scene near the end. Now I will admit I did feel a disconnect at times with Maggie and the characters, as if I was only reading their story not experiencing the moment with them, perhaps due to so little dialogue included. Another thing was the ending, it went from Maggie managing her problems and living life to the movie "Taken" or "Lara Croft" in 5 seconds flat. I loved the scene, but it was like "where did this come from?" kind of feeling. I'd love to read more on Maggie, especially if the story entails Super Spy Maggie from the latter part of the book. In truth the author could have spliced up the book and made two parts, maybe three, with how much goes on in Maggie's life. So if you are looking to read a book about a young woman who despite all the heartbreak she endures decides to venture out on her own to find a place to call home and look for a family to love, but is still wrapped up in danger before she can find peace and chooses to take a final stand for life and true happiness, than this book may just be a good read for you.**I received a free copy in return for an honest review**------Read more of my reviews at: http://heyitwasfree.blogspot.com/------
