I'm afraid I just didn't see the appeal in this book. The only reason I finished it was because I was hoping that it would get better (it didn't) and because I was amazed at the (lack of) plot. I agree with the reviewer who said that it was a lot like J. Evanovich's Stephanie Plum family, but it didn't hook me as those did. It was like a bad episode of those old Batman TV shows with all of that Zing! and Zam! going on. Sorry--there were too many bad cliches and too many predictable events. I'll pass on the next one.
