Review:
The Last Hour is different from any other book that I have read. Now, this is not a bad thing... it's just different. It is not your stereotypical love story. Yes the characters are in love, but there is more to the story than that.
We get a lot of details about Ray's military career, which is central to the plot of the story. So if you like a tale of military action, then you will love this one.
Confession time for me... I had a bit of a hard time keeping some of the timeline straight in my head. We see Ray and Carrie's memories out of order, which is a very natural way that they tend to flow, but as I reader I was looking for a few clues here and there of when and where we were at times. Don't get me wrong, it is well written. I just had to devote a little more brain power to reading this one.
