Review:
I do not really have that much to say about this book, so I will make this quick...

I was really intrigued when I started reading this as the plot was so original. However, the novelty of the idea soon wore off as, in my opinion, far too much happened at the beginning as the spark soon fizzled out in regards to the marriage pact. I was left thinking, "Oh, was that it? But there is still like two hundred pages to go?" This resulted in a long, drawn out plot which, in my opinion, diverged quite a lot from the original starting point.

To give Bleasdale credit, she created such an evil and manipulative character in George. This helped ensure that you, as a reader, kept reading as you really, really, really wanted him to get his comeuppance.

Rating: 3/10. Interesting idea but a bit long-winded.
