I was very excited about reading this book, and I had heard much buzz about it. While I enjoyed the first half, during the second half the author seemed to have lost track of what she was doing or where she was going with the storyline. The ultimate climax was, well, for lack of a better word - anticlimactic. Ultimately, I feel this book was a waste of time. The only reason I give the book 2 starts instead of 1 is that it started out so well. As I believe this is the author's first book, I will hope for better in the future.
