My review: Get ready for RFS's shortest review to date. I read a little over half of this book and was nearly bored to tears. I put it down. I can’t find it again. Actually, I haven't really looked and it's been several weeks. I don’t care enough about the story or characters to spend another second thinking about it. Is that enough of a review for you? I hope so, because I'm not wasting any more of my time on it. I've got better books to read.

My rating: 2 Stars. Who knows, perhaps the ending saves it from being a complete waste of time (which is why I didn't give it 1 star), but I don't care enough to find out.

Sum it up: Started off well enough, but lost me in the end.
