I enjoyed the originality of the plot, but the level of attitude and drama carried by the protagonists, drawn-out and repetitive fighting scenes, and questionable character motives dampened my enjoyment to the point that I will likely pass on the next book in this installment. If readers enjoy the dramatic tone of daytime soap operas, they will likely enjoy this book.

I enjoyed reading this book and found myself absorbed by the characters and storyline. I also appreciated the book’s sophisticated vocabulary. The only disappointment for me was the ending. I thought Tiffany’s final interaction with her mother was a bit disassociated from the rest of the book and could have been integrated better. Additionally, there were more typos than I am accustomed to seeing in a professionally-published book.
