This could have been a much better book. The basic plot was good enough, but it felt rushed, as though the author were in a big hurry to get to the end. Partly because of this, the characters never became more than two-dimensional with some of them being just the usual flat stereotypes.

There were some discontenting grammar and punctuation flaws, such as a repetition of the phrase "a roll of the eyes was given" with no punctuation or capitalization. I don't know why the author didn't simply write, "She rolled her eyes," but it got to be annoying and broke the train of the action for the reader. Also, there were a lot of sentences strung together with commas instead of periods, and that made some of them harder to figure out what thought went with what thought.

I suspect this was self-published, not a bad thing, but just not enough editing and revision by a competent editor.

Still, it was a quick read, though a lightweight one, and really wasn't scary at all..or even very romantic since, with the character development being superficial, the romance was superficial and hackneyed as well.
