I was intrigued by the synopsis then ordered it from Barnes & Noble. Once I started reading it, I realized the author is new and seems to be a rambler. It drags on for the first 63 pages with details the reader may get bored with quickly as I did. But then it starts to heat up. I say give this book a chance.
