I called the ending pretty early on, so any time something happened that didn't fit my theory, I was like, "Nah, that didn't happen." It left for a kind of disappointing read, unfortunately.
This was an okay book that, with some more work, could have been an excellent book. The premise is great, there were some nice twists, and it's paced like a thriller, but the spark just isn't there.
Paaaaacing! Yes! This is how you do it! Also, I want a whole series just about Jenna.
I felt like there was too much going on here, but that might just be because I was trying to gather clues and was confusing on the wrong things. For most of the book, I had no idea who to suspect, but I did end up putting some of the answers together at the last minute. I still like Finlay's work a lot, and I'm thrilled that my favorite couple is in the one book I have left of his to read.
I almost gave up on this a few times, because it was sooooo sloooooow, and the fact that the last 60 or so pages were a lot better and had some good twists didn't make up for that. Willingham may have lost me.
