I wish I could give this book 4 stars for the way it kept me turning the pages -worth the 4 stars- and holding my breath while hoping for the survival of the characters every time they were at risk of being bitten but I also cannot overlook the way I became frustrated with the main character Mary -the reason for the 3 stars and I'm being generous with the rating-.

I will read the companion book - The Dead-Tossed Waves- because the plot line is interesting and alluring. I just hope that the next main character is more mature and a stronger model of for such type of story. After all, how many loved ones is oneself willing to sacrifice for a dream?

Notwithstanding the immature nature of the main character, I did enjoy this book a great deal. Let's hope the companion book will step it up a couple of notches.

Thanks to the friend who recommended it to me.
