Well-written and compelling. The first few twists really surprised me, and made me even more interested in the story. But I found the love scenes to be a little too explicit.

Great story
It has a very good plot and the characters are given their own particular quirk, but it does not hit the same points her previous book did. The end becomes increasingly predictable the more you read, so you are not surprised when you actually read the ending.
