What I Saw By Beck Galley

I received an e-arc of What I Saw by Beck Nicholas via NetGalley from Harlequin Australia in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book. I have wanted to read this book from the moment that I heard about. I like novels that capture heartbreaking incidents from a different perspective. The king hit – is something quite big in Australia at the moment and a lot of I leads to death and the person that committed the crime, either getting away with it or being judged guilty for the crime. But what happens when the person being accused of the crime didn’t do it? What if the person who was king hit is the towns darling? And what if the only person that saw what happened, wants to hide the …show more content…

The concept of the plot, intrigued me from the get go and I think that is what kept me reading. I wanted to know what would happen. I think that the romance was the biggest problem for me in What I Saw. The book went from about 3/4 days and in that time both Callie and Rhett pretty much feel in love with each other … to much instalove for me. Can it even be called that though? Since they have known each other or about each other for quite a bit. I don’t know, but I didn’t really enjoy it. If the book was set over a couple of weeks and the romance was building in that time – then I would have loved the romance, because Callie and Rhett are quite cute together, but it was just was too fast. I think I enjoyed Rhett much more than I did Callie. I sympathised with Rhett and all I wanted to do was tell him that, somehow everything is going to be okay. Everyone pretty has hates Rhett and when is accused of the one doing the punching, it was never questioned. And gosh did it make me angry. I like these types of characters, those who are misunderstood, however I hate the situations. Rhett wasn’t who everyone thought he was, he is just this big squishy

It was fascinating because it was filled with umpteen of details and I was able to paint pictures of the stories. All in all, though, the plot really amused me and I couldn 't wait to see what would happen at the end. I liked the way the stories kept me tied up and that it wasn 't just a predictable fairy tale. I loved the ending of the stories because it didn 't just lay everything out flat. But it left me imagining what would go on to happen between the two couples.

Hogan, even though he appears tough on the outside, he unquestionably has a soft and sweet side. It is clear that he is sweet because he cares for the people around him. In the bathroom, Noah began to have a outburst, when Alice couldn’t handle it and he threw Alice to the ground, Hogan immediately took charge. He jumped onto Noah and tried to stop his outburst, to my surprise, it actually worked! Another kind act that Hogan does is he goes out to look for Alice after she decided to go out and look for her autistic brother and him helping Alice after she was attacked by her brother.

Also it takes a lot to try to change yourself and your actions because it can be so hard to change but he's still willing to do it all. I may not like it but that had to take a lot of courage to do. If the book was longer and showed us the person he changed to be I believe I would like his character

I really did find the characters to be really interesting. Lucy, also known as Julia, was probably one of the most interesting characters that I have read in quite some time. The story is told from her point of view and it is that storytelling that held my attention. Her friends, Michael and Alane, were the perfect support system for Lucy. I didn't really relate to any of the characters or find them to be very likeable but I also didn't dislike any of them.

One thing that I didn’t get during this book is how Callie didn’t talk for so long. If Callie would of talked sooner they could've helped her sooner. I believe that Callie is a very sweet girl and that it is so upsetting that she did that to herself. I think that if maybe people would of talked to her more before she was put into Sea Pines it would have helped her. I think that if Callie’s parents and everybody wouldn’t of stepped in then she wouldn’t of started to talk.

Predators have become a colossal problem lowering duck populations and overall nest success and recruitment. With the decline of apex predators such as wolves and coyotes predators such as Red Fox, raccoons and skunks have been able to run rampant and destroy duck populations altogether. The use of predator corridors or the congregation of predators in areas with large duck numbers began to become more prevalent. Nests need to have at least 15% nest success to maintain a minimum number of ducks within the population. That number is hard to maintain when Red Fox are annually killing 900,000 adult ducks within that of the breeding grounds.

I guess I was in such shock I couldn’t focus on what’s happening in the book and just dropped it. I thought the way Phineas died was so stupid, and so sudden too. I never expect any, especially Phineas, to die in this book. Other than that I didn’t have any trouble with the language or pacing, and the plot was quite easy to follow. It was a little hard to get into at first, but once I started reading I got really into the story.

I disliked the story, actually I hated the story, I didn't find it interesting at all. When I was reading the book I found myself having to reread some parts of the story all over again because I wasn't getting where the story was going, basically I just wasn't interested, it wasn't captivating. The issues the book made me feel and think about where teen drinking, smoking, the use of teenage drug use and sex. I say this because throughout the whole book it seemed like drugs, alcohol and sex were the main source of the story which made me think the author was supporting teenage drinking, drug use and sex. I say this because the author didn’t include the consequences and effects that come with drinking, drug use and underage sex throughout

I was thinking many things when the story was over. The end of the book left me off on a cliff hanger I dislike books that do that. I loved this book it always kept me reading. This book made me think about the next book and even through the book it would make me wonder about what’s next.

It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.
