Book: The Pact

Author: Sharon J. Bolton

“That summer was a time of neither hope nor promise but of certainty: they were the chosen ones, to whom the world belonged, and their lives, only just beginning, would be long and golden. How very wrong they were.”

The Pact ~ Sharon Bolton

Twenty years later Megan is free.
Let the games begin . . .

REVIEW

The Pact by Sharon Bolton was a thrilling and twisty suspense. All the characters have something about them that makes you wonder how they will react to the next situation that comes their way. I was amazed and chilled by Megan and her actions once she was released from prison. The favors she asks for were a bit shocking, and the twists kept me on the edge of my seat. This story was a quick read that kept me guessing what would happen next. However we do wish there had a been at least another chapter or two providing what the future for our characters looked like. It felt like a bit of an abrupt ending.
