This author is great at building up suspense and intrigue at the beginning of the book and even through the middle, but her endings always seem to end up being these exaggerated over the top endings. Obviously a lot of people like that type of ending ...more

Appears to be AI and if so, I will not support AI books. If not AI, then the storyline and writing is off. I read the first couple of pages but could not finish.

Good writing, but the book repeats itself over and over. And everyone is either beautiful, gorgeous or handsome. Really? I skimmed most of it.

It started out slow, then got better until it went back to being slow again. I found myself skimming a most of the middle section. The writing itself is good, but the storyline became predicatable.
