This one was not for me. The storyline didn’t flow well and I could not connect with the characters.

Two quick disclaimers:
1) I have not read "Rebecca," so I cannot make any comparisons between the two.
2) This is my first book by Ms. Briscoe, so I cannot comment on how this book fits into or differs from her previous works.

That said, I found "Chloe" to be rather boring after the whirlwind of Angel and Everett's initial romance, as well as a bit predictable. I guessed both twists pretty early on, so I wasn't surprised to see my suspicions were correct. However, nothing really happens until about 85-90% into the novel, and then it's over pretty quickly. The ending was not satisfying to me at all, especially considering the prologue.

Angel... I don't really have too many positive things to say about her. I hated the way she let Mrs. Harrison treat her and I felt like she didn't ask enough questions of Everett in the beginning. Although she does eventually grow a backbone at Riverwild, she was a bit weak in general.

Overall, this book was a bit of a letdown to me. The writing wasn't particularly special or unique, and the climax was, well, anticlimactic. While it did a decent job of building tension, I wanted just a bit more drama, something to make it really come together.
