This book has been in my review pile for a while, the cover and title are tempting enough but the back blurb however always drew me back away from it. It sounded interesting but not interesting enough. And that's how the story was, it was interesting enough to make me curious as to how it would all go but it wasn't interesting enough to make me want to stick it out to the end. I found the hero and the story idea fascinating but the heroine and the plot less than spectacular. The heroine was a bit two faced in the sense that she gets all worked up if someone uses words that could be "offensive" yet doesn't mind tossing out a few racial slurs or using words that could be used as an insult herself. Of course this is all because she had a crappy life so she puts up this I'm big, bad, and tough and don't need anyone's help front to insure no one screws with her. But there was just something that doesn't spark my interest in her enough to want to know more about her or to find out what makes her tick.

The killer of Dagen's youngest brother was obvious I knew right away from the second I found out he had been killed who it had been. Yes, I like guessing who the bad guys are in stories but come on give me some sort of wild goose chase before I nail the bastard.

Anyways, I managed to get to the halfway point of this book before I realized I was no longer reading it rather than mostly skimming it. I won't be continuing on with this series.
