“Gracie C. McKeever (c) October 2009
I hated rating this because I couldn't finish it. I gave it until about page 54 and what I did read, I didn't like.
It had a great premise, sounded like someting I'd definitely enjoy, but the characterization just wasn't there for me. I didn't like any of the characters I met, especially the heroine/protagonist. She had all the makings of being the perfect heroine--courageous, self-sacrificing--but there was just something about her that stuck in my craw and made me incapable of reading any further or caring what happened to her.
I usually don't give up on a book this early on, and there are some that I've given up on and picked back up because I didn't want to be a quitter or there's just something about the characters that draws me back (Original Love by J.J. Murray is a perfect example and it turned out to be one of my favorite reads and made me glad I didn't give up on it). But there wasn't anything pulling me here--not the characters or the story which is a shame, because I wanted to like this.
I bought this book on the strength of the premise and the author (I had read two other IR romances by her and loved them). I guess that was part of my disappointment. This wasn't IR romance and I went in expecting it to be after the previous books. My mistake. ”
