Sidney Sheldon's Reckless

Hello gorgeous souls!

This post is about the book called Reckless. The author of this book is Tilly Bagshaw and she has tried to fill in the shoes of Sidney Sheldon.



I was very hesitatant about picking this book off the bookstore because I grew up reading Sheldon. The first book I ever read was Nothing Lasts Forever by Sheldon.
With all my skepticism I read this book and I have to say, Tilly Bagshaw did a good job.

The novel is about a theme that is so relatable in today's society. The rise of a community of people who have certain beliefs that turn violent over time due to simple reasons like fight for power within the community, the desire to be above all human, the rage and anger within certain people which forces them to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal. The protagonist is a ex theif turned housewife who due to certain circumstances is forced to cooperate with the
CIA in their mission against Group 99. 

Cover: The cover doesn't give away the plot of the book but justifies the theme Reckless

Plot:
The most important reason I think Tilly Bagshaw did justice to this novel is that not even once did the book lose it's plot. There's a certain flow to the story and it is sure to make the readers curious.

The con here according to me is that after a certain point the story becomes predictable and maybe a little monotonous.There are unnecessary feelings between characters involved just to make the plot catchy. Also personally this book doesn't satisfy my soul as a book under the Sidney Sheldon tag. I had expected more twists in the plot. 
To conclude I am a little happy and a little disappointed so as to how the plot turned out.

Purchase the book here :)
