Book Review – Unhinge by Calia Read

By 23 Comments

Unhinge: A Novel
*NOTICE!!! Skip this review if you want to read this story “blind”. My review is pure reaction, right to the very end, and while I don’t spoil anything per se, my reactions might give you a preconceived notion that you might not want to have going in…*
Okay… now the review.
Gosh darn it. I’m annoyed. Seriously.

Maryse: Okay so I’m just finishing a book and I have nooooo clue what is happening. I THINK I know… but OMG I have no clue, because right now? It’s just so crazy I can’t imagine I’m right??!!! I hope there’s a wiki that will tell me. Confirm it… oh my. OMG… am I reading this right???????
Maryse: Wait. Waaaaaaiiiiiiit. Wait. I don’t understand what I’m reading. Amy. AMY!!!! Anyone that has read Unhinged… please. I’m at the end. I don’t understand. *still reading and in sorta shock but not enough shock for all I expected*
Maryse: *hrmph* Yeah, no. I don’t get it. I’ll have to backtrack and do a search for a few names to find out how they factor into this story, so importantly in the end, ’cause I have no clue who they are and why they matter. And I pretty much read this one non-stop.
Gosh darn it! neutral
bev: It’s an Amy book?
Maryse: It’s an Amy book. ;) But her and I usually see eye-to-eye. Either she or I drank to many martinis with this one. LOL!!!!!! read more

Still . . . a rebound has never looked so good.
That’s her first thought when she sees firefighter Grady Malone.
