This book starts out with a bang. It drew me in, and I was excited to see where it would go. I liked the action and the mystery, and I really liked the way the author wrote his book around the old photos that he included right in the story. It made the characters seem much more real.
The problems with this book for me began about a third of the way through. The story took on a rather confusing quality, and several times I had to set it down, walk away for a while, and then come back to it. Once I figured out where the story was going, I wasn't sure if I was all that interested anymore. The characters were not all that likable.
I agree with another reviewer in that the ending of the book was rather disappointing for me. By this point, I hadn't really developed any real liking for any of the characters, and I sort of felt as though I was stuck watching the end of a rather mediocre film on the sci-fi network because there's "just nothing else on". I can definitely tell from the ending that the author has plans to write more books in this series. Will I read them? Probably not.
