Helpful Score: 2
I got to page 250 and just lost interest. This book was utterly boring. I'm a Christine Feehan fan--I've read every one of her Dark series and am making my way through the others. Having enjoyed her work in the past, I thought this was a huge disapointment.
Feehan is known for her lush, longwinded discriptions and settings. This book definately has that--too much of it in my oppinion. After awhile the detail starts to detract from the plot, and it's slow. Furthermore, the character's backstories take way to long to come to light, to the point where they seem tacked on as an afterthought. And they don't grow or develope at all--or if they do it was in those last 100 pages I just couldn't bring myself to read. Either way, the pacing is way off. The heroine spends the first hundred pages injured in bed for crying out loud.
To end on a positive, I have to give Feehan credit for some really hot romantic content. It may lack substance, but it is very sexy. So if you have a lot of patience, or you just prefer mindless sexual drama, you might enjoy this. Otherwise stick to Feehan's other books.
