Well, that was interesting.
The problem I had with this book was not the writing or the protagonist (which usually are my biggest complaints) but it was the plot itself. This may have been the most disinterested in the actual conflict or the suspense of the book ever. I even forgot for a second that this book was told through both Scott's and Emily's perspective because I don't remember anything important happening in Scott's. And to say the least, the first 60 percent of this book was pretty slow and only had a few "spooky" moments which I still didn't feel added a lot to the story.
Except for my very major plot complaints, I enjoyed the writing. It was fun and good for fast-paced thrillers like this and I also enjoyed the protagonist who was CONSTANTLY getting mixed up in trouble.
A Safe Place didn't seem very threatening as the cover gives off until the end where I still didn't feel that much in danger surprisingly with the protagonist. But, I will be checking out more Anna Downes' books because I'm interested more in the writing itself instead of the disappointing plot this book brings to the table.
