I enjoyed this book and will read others by this author - I didn't get bogged down at any point, and it kept me turning the pages. I liked the characters, too, even though MJ is prickly and wary - she has good reason for those traits and that worked for me. Yes, you'll need to suspend your disbelief; there are unlikely / improbable spots, but it wasn't difficult for me to gloss over those. Yes, I did figure out the bad guy, but I wanted to find out the "whys" so kept reading. And yes, there is a fair amount of sex, but it does fit in the story.I must say that I do NOT like this new twist of semi-cliffhanger endings. How many times do I have to say "BOOKS HAVE ENDINGS"? This one did wrap up the major plot points, thus the 4-star rating, and yes, I realize it is part of a trilogy. But a really good book will draw me to search for more by the author without hitting me over the head with missing parts of the story. I would rather see the first chapter of the next book than have that pulled into what could have been a great ending.
