Add a CommentNot too impressed with this one. The main character was not very likeable and the story dragged a bit in the middle. I don't think I'll another one by her.
This book had me hooked just enough to want to find out what was going on. I liked the atmosphere. Some of the characters were memorable and some of the plot exciting. When all is said and done, I would read more by this author.
