Review:

“Select” is one of those books that sounded so good and then failed to live up to the hype, in my opinion.  The plot is a very slow burn.  It seemed to take forever for something, anything, to happen.  On top of that, I just did not care for the characters or the love interests at all.  It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t good, either. If it sounds interesting to you, give it a try, but I can’t recommend it.

This unbiased review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher.
