I was hugely disappointed with this story. At first, I thought it was rather fresh, although very descriptive, but then it went on and on (good grief) and I really never felt a love connection between Colin and Madeline. First and foremost, it was a mystery with a bit of romance rather than the opposite. After her previously disappointing trilogy (Beauty and the Spy, Ways to be Wicked, etc) I was really really hoping things would improve(maybe she was in a writing slump?) I can't possibly understand how her second installment will be connected to the first because none of the characters were truly interesting.
