I didn't realize when I bought it that it was part of a series. I've not read any others in the series. It was well written but there wasn't a lot of plot to the story. I didn't particularly care for the characters and a sudden 180 degree turn one female character made at the end of the book. Perhaps some of the earlier ones in the series might have been better to me. This was number 6.
