My Thoughts:
The Cover: Unconvicted has a very dark cover. A man runs from a well lit building into the dark night. Definitely not a cover that would have screamed, "You have to read me!!" But I don't always choose my reads based on cover alone.
The Plot: Unconvicted had an amazing story. Although I was alittle afraid at first that I would not get into it, I was hooked before I even realized. The story moves alone at a good speed, with enough details to draw you in. Just when you thought the story was done, something even more interesting or intense would happen. I read enjoyed the court room drama and piecing together the clues.
The Characters: All of the characters were very well written. I loved our main characters, Jack and Lara. I found that very quickly into the story, you could feel empathy for Jack. I really liked that he didn't just accept everything for what it appeared to be.Jack's father was very cute and I thought the love and care he showed for his dad was do endearing.
Was it Worth Reading: Yes, very much so! I couldn't read it fast enough! I really enjoyed Unconvicted, with all of it's unexpected twists and turns, and hope to read more of Jack Kowalski. I highly recommend Unconvicted to readers of suspense and drama, and give it 4 out of 5 crossbows.
