Book Review – Anna Bright Is Hiding Something
This book was absolutely gripping. It kept me hooked until the very end. Anna Bright could take home gold in the delusion Olympics. If this book were a movie, I would have been screaming “huh??” at the screen constantly at Anna. I was a little disappointed by the ending because I wanted a bit more drama. Regardless, it had a complete ending with every loose end tied up. It was an interesting read overall. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a “can’t put down” type of book!
