As I've done so many times, I mistakenly ordered this book before the first in the series. I was pleasantly surprised with the characters and how well put together this book was. I definitely ordered the first book on the strength of this one. From page one, you get a feeling of who Regina and her friends are and what they're about. I liked the developement and ending of the story as well. This writer has a bright future in the world of urban fiction and beyond.
