My Mom originally got this book. She went into Coles and asked for books like V.C. Andrews. She was presented with this book and was thoroughly disappointed. My Mom, knowing I'm a bookworm, passed this book along to me and said I'd enjoy it. And man, was she right! I thoroughly enjoyed Unspoken, but reader beware... this book definitely isn't like V.C. Andrews (I'm kind of confused why the Coles rep though it was, but there's no time to go into that)
Shelby Cole is going on and living her life, when an unaddressed envelope comes in the mail. Inside this mail? A photo of a little girl that she is convinced was the daughter she had who supposedly died ate birth. From that moment, Shelby knows she has to return home and find her baby. So she returns to Bad Luck Texas (what a name, eh?). Bad Luck is full of... well, Bad Luck. It's a small town with lots of troubled history, like past murders, suspicious people, lies, and bad relationships. If you wanted drama, you found it. As Shelby works hard to find her daughter, an old "friend" is brought into her life... And she learns you can't always trust everyone...
This book is a slow thrill ride, yet so intriguing. At first I found it a bit too slow for my liking (since I love a fast paced book), but the writing style kept me hooked. I had to know about Shelby's daughter and I could not put the book down... So I didn't. I didn't connect with the characters well, but lucky for me the story kept me interested. I can definitely see this being a hit or miss book with people, because it didn't fully grab me the way I had hoped it would.
My negatives? The book has a lot of sexual angst in it, and also has an adult police officer sleeping with an underage girl and everyone acts like this is completely fine. Every other page also seems to reference how the leads have the hots for each other. Like, okay, I get it - they want to get it on. Maybe we don't mention it on every page though. The book could have lost one hundred or so pages just from that. And, some of those pages have the most awkward "sexy" lines that... I just felt like it was a joke at times.
Despite the repetitive factor, I did enjoy this book. The mystery kept me glued even though the characters were pretty dull and some of this book was massively cringe worthy. From my research, this isn't the strongest Lisa Jackson book so I'm definitely going to be picking up more by her in the future.
3 out of 5 stars! (
