Review: Shallow and short
Rating: 2 out of 5

I enjoyed the first book and am glad because I can divide the price of this one and the free first one and not feel too ripped off.  326 pages for free, 183 pages for $3.99.A lot of what I liked about the first book is missing here - the descriptions of the heroine's best friendship, her side job jobs, her house care woes, her being own her own, but not quite - and mostly, still being very resourceful and fun with a funny backstory.While she's resiliant once in the beginning, this book is more about men, and whether or not she can trust them.  It's almost all travel/action and while it ties up plot points it has almost no relationship moments at all.  And honestly, if I were her best friend and she'd lied to me again about something so huge - and pulled a dissapearing repeat, I'd be over it.And the book is short, I read it in less than 2 and a half hours; to me it's comparable to watching an espisode of Castle, or the Mentalist.  More of a short story not very complicated mystery with old and known characters that plays out in a predictable pattern.So, if the first book was a decent pilot, this is just another weekly episode.  I was dissapointed.
