Were you disappointed with the book in any way: I was disappointed because of the lack of strength in the characters. I thought that the story really started too fast, it got too into it too fast.
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents: The cover was not very tempting for me, there was not much appeal. I wish there was more spice to it.

Comments: This story was hard to follow. It seemed like a really dull story. It was hard to follow the actual plot because I wasn't aware of what the character's goal was, I didn't like this book that much. It was very hard for me to get through it.
