I bought he book based on what I read from the "LOOK INSIDE" invitation. Unfortunately, a Bait and Switch tactic was in play. The rest of the book in no way resembled the interesting beginning. At the start of the story, a serial killer attacks Hannah, her sister Sarah stayed late at work and comes too late to her sisters aid. Hannah is in a coma and over her sister's body (literally), Sarah meets hot cop Jason. The best part of the book is now finished and it was mediocre and over-ripe with bad editing. Words were missing or simply mis-used in every chapter.In a throw away sentence, the serial killer is caught with no explanation of how or why it happened. Hannah dies and we are left with one dimensional Sarah who we are told is a super genius working on a top secret project that has world-wide implications. Okey dokey. Her sister was attacked and dies, she is run off the road in a snow storm and is attacked personally and professionally at work, has a bomb go off in her office which barely misses killing her but thinks the man in her life is over reacting when he tells her she is in danger. You can't write that someone is smart and then have them act idiotically. When you do that, I can't invest myself in your story because it just doesn't make sense to me.There is no real sexual tension between Sarah and Jason, but we are told it's there. It's one cliche after another of misunderstood motivations and each of them thinks one thing but says another. Lust is not love, but again we are told that they do love each other. Mostly, they think how hot the other person is and how perfect things would be if s/he would just do what the other person wants them to do. I had to quit reading about 1/3 of the way through because nothing was a surprise, the characters acted childishly, and I'd already figured out the plot. I went to the end of the book just in case I had missed something. I hadn't.  I would not have bothered to write a review except I felt cheated out of the story that was started in the first few chapters. That story died quickly and was replaced by something much less interesting.
