I've read page-turning suspense novels and tension-filled romance novels. This was neither. After more than 200 pages, the two main characters still had not gotten together. But they had spent numerous nights/days/afternoons hammering themselves with retribution over their past failures that poured into pages upon pages of guilty, angst filled thoughts. Oh, and in between, a couple of women are found dead.Reading about a woman who is near anorexic, wears baggy clothes, over-sized glasses and chews her nails at every turn of the page was not my idea of a fun read. She was only slightly better by the last page. I don't think the author had a clear idea of what this book should be--a romance novel or a suspense novel. It turns out to be not much of either. In the end, I didn't care about either one of the main characters. They need counseling...and I hope they get it.
