Helpful Score: 5

I thought the general idea of this book was good. However, I didn't really like how it played out. The main "bad" event (don't want to give spoilers away here) seemed really senseless. I would have liked to see the plot go in another direction, but then I'm not the author. It wasn't a very memorable read for me, and I started skimming halfway through it just to hurry up and get to the end.

Having said that, I do like Werlin. I'd recommend her other books. It's just this one that seemed senseless. Not to mention, the "solution" to the whole "situation" (it's hard to review without spoilers!) seemed really contrived. As if the author was stretching the events to make them fit.
