So here we have Gretchen--part time student, full time grave robber extraordinare...(to put herself through school natch...) and here comes a big plot point: her twin sister was murdered when they were 8 (its been over 10 years) and the killer was set free but on her way to exact vengance upon said newly-released murderer she runs into this sort of psychopathic but really hot guy. In her mind she nicknames him Pure Evil (but this is really unclear as she had known him for 3 seconds max) then she decided she's gonna do what she has to do. Okay, I can sort of follow.She registers for her classes, tells no one what she and Mr. Hot/Evil have done. She sees him in class because he is *gasp* her professor. But he seems to not know about their prior encounter. This is where the pschoanalysis dabbling comes in.The only "logical" conclusion is that he has multiple personality, or a twin. Until another man (now we have Collen, Cohen, and the Agent) who looks exactly like the other one/two conveniently happens to take me right out of the story.I finished it and overall it was just a waste of time. The book never addresses if they are twins, triplets, regular siblings who happen to look IDENTICAL with no distinguishing marks....just that she makes out with 2 of them, the Agent is trying to get to know her, no one seems to notice her robbing graves EVERY NIGHT she works at her family's funeral home....All in all it just seems like a hodgepodge of ideas. Mildly entertaining. The premise of the book gets a star. My surprise that none of the C named characters was "coheed" or "cambria" earned a star. And the fact that the chapters all started in the really need way "Chapter #: where Gretchen does (something vague and interesting) here. It was cute.The book was just sort of ho hum. 2.99....nah, I'm glad it was free. I wouldn't have willingly paid more than $.99 for this.
