My feelings for this book are conflicted. I liked it, because of the characters in the story (i live wellwritten characters!) but the mystery didn’t make much sense. I never really understood the motivations behind the main crime in this book. Also the ending freaked me out (in a bad way). I did not expect it to go the way it did, and I do not like what the author did. Overall though, it was fine, but nothing special. I’m interested enough to pick up the next book in the series – only because of the authors skill in writing good believable characters.
