Reviewed by Peggy Payne I started reading Freida's books in January 2023. I really enjoyed them. I looked forward to each new release. There is a difference in writing styles among authors. Freida writes simplistic, easy to read books. Quick stories with a twist, typically. I used to really enjoy and crave this type of material. However, as time goes and I've read more of her books along with other books by different authors, I find myself struggling with the simplicity of her writing. This was another typical Freida book. If you are a great fan, you'll likely enjoy it. For me, at this time, it was simply "ok."
