Love Trap Review

Synopsis:

Daphne Bernstein did not like Jerusalem.  She ended up there by chance, dragging along her young daughter, her useless medical licence, her disgraceful past and her desperate hope to rebuild her life that has gone off course.

In an ancient building, in the midst of a stormy winter, Daphne's life crosses paths with an alienated man and an ambiguous co-worker, who are both hiding a secret with heavy consequence.  Is this a random meeting or a sophisticated trap?

Love Trap is a fascinating and unconventional story about lies, friendship and love.  It occurs in the dark and mysterious domain, between reality and distortion, created by fear and hope.

Review:

I found Daphne's tale to be very intriguing.  I don't usually read a lot of books that aren't fantasy or science fiction that take place outside of North America so that was refreshing for me.  Plus there was all the mystery.  I love a story that keeps me guessing at things.

Everyone in this book came across as very real, very easy to relate to.  Even though at points I was frustrated with the thing they were doing I could completely see myself or the people in my life doing the same things.

All in all I really enjoyed it.  You can find Love Trap on Amazon.
