While not quite as good as her Cormac Reilly series, this book definitely held my attention and I couldn't wait to go to bed every night to listen to it! ( )

I know I should have more sympathy for the idiotic Kaiya, but she's exhausting and can't find the least bit of backbone or perspective - perpetually 10 years old. Maddening.

Each individual story Noah's and Flynn's, and then their joined narrative, revolves around abuse - mostly at the hands of men against women which is the way it goes 90% of the time, but I have a feeling we're creeping up on a woman doing it. Not to a man, but to a young woman. It may not be physical, but psychological and possibly a semi-kidnapping sort of situation where Kaiya went along willingly at first, but is now basically trapped. Stockholm syndrome? That's where it seems to be heading anyway...I hope it doesn't get too preachy.

It didn't and most of what I predicted came to pass, but I feel the ending was a bit rushed compared the drawn out pace of what led up to it. The bad guy is fingered, but there is no punishment or retribution on the page. Bummer. ( )
