I started out really liking the book, then got about 1/2 way through it and started wondering if I was missing something. It felt like it was not the first book in the series. I kept thinking I was supposed to know something that the author(s) hadn't mentioned about the society being built, but there were also times that I just plain felt like something really basic simply hadn't been mentioned and I just had to keep reading and hope it made sense later.

The characters all seemed a little too perfect - great friends who all love and trust each other completely, people who have access to great amounts of money, relationships that develop practically overnight, etc. It was a really quick read, but I can't help but think that if the author(s) had spent more time developing the characters instead of just dropping them into the story fully-formed, the book might have been twice as long...and twice as enjoyable.

From www.moirarogers.com : How do you make a Moira Rogers? Take a former forensic science and nursing student obsessed with paranormal romance and add a computer programmer with a passion for gritty urban fantasy. Toss in a dash of whimsy and a lot of caffeine, and enjoy with a side of chocolate by the light of the full moon.

By day, Bree and Donna are mild-mannered ladies who reside in the Deep South. At night, when their husbands and children are asleep, they combine forces to unleash the product of their fevered imaginations upon the page.
