review 1: Okay, I guess. It started out somewhat interesting, although I could already tell the main character was going to annoy me. But then just deteriorated. The "heroine", if we can call her that, because she seemed vapid and "woe is me" for most of the book, was beyond annoying. It just felt like the author was throwing a whole arsenal of ideas into the same book to move the plot along. Suspense/murder-mystery/drama/fantasy all rolled into one.
review 2: OK, I got an ARC of this book and it was well over 500 pages, so the fact that goodreads states that it is 300+ pages makes me think some things have been cut, that being said I was 500 pages into the book until I realized it had a paranormal piece to it, which if I had known earlier I would have skipped it altoget
... moreher. This book has a fast pace to it, but only when you are reading it, if that makes sense, it is not a book that pulls you back to it when you sit it down. Therefore it took me a few days to read it but when I was reading it the pages turned quickly. The characters are ok, with a book of this length I expect to feel more for the characters. It did have alot of twists and turns and it kept me guessing, but I assume that since i never thought paranomal behavior was an option I did not guess correctly. What I learned from this book is that a paranormal occurence can change a book completely and in my estimation can tie up any loose ends. I liked the book for keeping me guessing, but the paranormal stuff is not for me and it left me feel robbed of a real ending. less

Storyline sounded promising but couldn't get past the bad writing. Lucky to get 2 stars.
