this was an ok book for me. I agree with a lot of the constructive criticism: too much background info on the main character (some of which is really not all that relevant), a little bit too pat and unrealistic, the character is a bit unrealistic, the others could be developed more.. I feel like i was being set up for the sequel..and maybe we are. I certainly can't give it 5 stars. However after saying all of that, the story line is a good one and if you can get through some of the background stuff, while the ending is a little too pat, it was a decent read.

The mystery part was ok but I skimmed all the unnecessary back stories.

Worst book I’ve read in a long time!!!
