First let me remind you to enter the awesome giveaway, for this book tour it is for $50 Amazon gift card. Now on to my review of Crushing by Elena Dillon.
Here is a brief summary of the book:
As a pampered and adored daughter of a wealthy Southern family Rory’s life was seemingly perfect until her troubled childhood crush moves back in across the street forcing her to choose between him and the life that has been chosen for her.
As if that isn’t enough, her quiet island town has turned dangerous. A good friend has gone missing, lending truth to the rumors of a serial kidnapper. In her quest to help she becomes a target and will have to make choices about love, friendship and the inevitable sacrifice that they both require.
First let me say, I loved the name of the main character in the book. Rory was short for Aurora. Did you know that was Sleeping Beauty’s actual name? I also love the name of her friend Gage. Yes that is one of things I fell in love with in this book were the names of the characters.
This book grabbed me from the beginning. You see the first scene has Rory going into a storm drain to save the life of a puppy. That pulled at my heart strings because as many of you know I love my fur babies. The fact that Rory is willing to risk her life in the pouring rain to save a puppy grabbed my attention. And that is what hooked me. But the second thing that hooked me was the fact that the story took place on a golf course. You see my husband and I met while both of us were working at a golf course so that brings back memories. Also the setting in the Carolinas on a beach sold me as well.
Oh and let’s not forget the mystery and intrigue that follows Rory around. This is a definite must read from young adult on into the adult years. But don’t just take my word for it. Check out what my fellow bloggers are saying about it.
