I couldn't help but love her for it.ĭowning was quite fascinating. ![]() She took the time to think things through and decide what she was willing to accept and what the motivations of the offender were. There were a few moments in the story where I expected her to react with high drama, but she didn't. Miranda is an optimist, but she's also very pragmatic and realistic. As their acquaintance deepens, Miranda cannot help but feel that Downing has cultivated their friendship for another purpose, but she quite rationally thinks it through and decides to risk it anyway. ![]() ![]() I loved how Downing skewed things in his favor so that he had an excuse to see her again.

When you would normally see a dramatic moment or a villainous character, you don't end up with the expected. ![]() But this author takes every expected outcome or reaction and twists it in an unexpected manner. When you think about the plot, it seems like it has been done to death and that it's just a cliche.
