Two and a half star rating.Alice and Jake, a couple of newly weds sign “The Pact” as they thought it would be a bit of harmless fun.

Original heading: The Marriage Pact - progress 0% Noooooooooooooooooooo I hate first-person-present-tense! I'm going to wait until after the this first scene to make sure the whole book isn't like this. If so I'm DNFing this and giving it the lowest possible rating. UPDATE: The good news is ...
This book was a complete page turner. I loved the mood, I loved the atmosphere and the tension that was prevalent throughout nearly the entire novel.
