3.5Not bad, not great. Interesting characters, but the plot feels so "been there, read that already". I had hoped for more originality, but still, this wasn't bad. It just could have been so much better. Review to come.

It has many good reviews, but not for me. DNF**I received this book via netgalle...

I really enjoyed this book when I first started reading it.... but then it just lost it's "umpf". I liked the characters, and the writing. The story had so much potential, but then about the middle of the story the Author's seemed to drop the ball. I finished the book feeling really disappointed....
