ONE WRONG MOVE is a thrilling, romantic adventure. The plot was fantastic, with a lot of twists & turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the psychic elements of the story. I also thought the character development was very good with this story. Alex is a very well written bad boy -- so much depth and anguish, and yet so lovable! And Nina was so incredibly strong and delicate at the same time! A must read!
