To be honest, as a mystery novel lover, I figured everything out from the beginning.

I forgot a lot of the character's names because there was no attachment. I remembered them through actions.

"Oh yeah, that's the girl. Wait what was her role again?"

My point is, there was really no lead in this novel. Everyone played a minor role including the victims (which was everyone). Even with Emma as the primary character and all that followed her until the end, I still feel like I don't know her. I think Stuart was the only one that had more explanation of who he was.

I gave this a three-star because it got interesting after the visit to the Myers home but that was the only climax. You finally realize what was really going on. I believe this happened somewhere in the middle of the book so you must really get pass all the dragging of the voice of reason from Emma as she tried to understand why her fiance left her and who assaulted Richard. Confused? Don't be. There really is no confusion. You will hear less about Richard throughout the book. I almost forgot he existed.

This book will have you wondering who these people are then why they did the things they did. The author gave you the answers for the action but never once did he want you to feel anything for the characters. Since this is a series, book one is a lengthy introduction. It's not a book to fall in love with, although the book is about "what would you do for love." There is irony somewhere in there if you ask me.

Will I read book 2? I started book two because of my curiosity.
