For the people who rated this book 4 or 5 stars, are you sure you reviewed the right book?? I'm an avid reader of all genre's and this book definitely missed the mark. The story was just BORING and undeveloped. There were too many cliche's, stereotypes and unoriginal material. Example: Innocent invites Noire over to his place and surprises her with an expensive new outfit and jewelry for an evening out. Where have we seen that one before?? And with all the unneccesary designer name dropping, I hope Ms. Turnipseed is getting some kind of kickback. Nice try.
