I read the entire book.I read it in one sitting.I was questioning, the entire time, why I was reading it.Honestly, it was a poor, poor, poor book.The premise had promise, however, the author totally missed the mark.First, the author spent way too much time getting into the clinical mumbo jumbo of the mythical/spiritual/other realms. Yes, it needed to be there, however, what took 5 pages could have been done in 1 paragraph. There is nothing wrong with dumbing it down for those that are not into that type of thing. I, personally, am into that sort of thing however even I found it extremely long winded, boring, dry, and in need of an editing room's floor.Second, I wasn't feeling the romance between the leads. Honestly, there was nothing about them together that made sense or would, or should have, caused HER to sacrifice her soul for him, a complete stranger.Third, the characters were overall annoying. The most interesting was the mother when naked in the jail. Other than that, I could have left them all and not given it a second thought.I'm tired of counting reasons and there will be so many that it'd be like a counting special on sesame street so I'll cut to the nitty gritty of the review.There were many editing issues that distracted from the story, the fill in love interest was MUCH too good for the lead and it didn't make sense in the end. Honestly, after halfway through the book I knew how it was going to end and that was disappointing. The foreshadowing was so blatant that it was belittling to my intelligence.There is nothing that I can say about this book on a positive note.The story was blasé at best. The characters one dimensional and completely forgettable. The dialogue was forced and didn't flow. The intimate scenes were very awkward and not at all STIMULATING.Sorry.Would I recommend it?No.Would I read more by this author?Nope, not even if it was free.
