Review: Disappointing!

This is the second installment of the Highlander Trilogy and I seriously doubt if this installment could stand alone, more specifically one surely would have to read the first installment before reading this one. Taking into consideration the totally unacceptable ending of book one,  I tend to argue that these two books should definitely have been one, hence most probably "pricing" reasons made two out of what should have been one!Several reviewers commented on the editorial, grammatical and other mistakes in the book - I agree. There was nothing wrong with my money when I bought the book(s) why should there be anything wrong with the product?!Back to the story: There isn't any reason to summarize this installment since this is just the continuation of book one, hence the story line and characters remain the same. The positive thing was definitely that I was immediately plunged into the action of book two (well, it couldn't be else since book one was interrupted nearly in the middle of the sentence!). The suspense part of the book was surprisingly well conceived, though it didn't live up to its potential. Instead of "confession-like revelations", which were thrown at me in huge monologues, I would have preferred to participate as a "silent and passive witness" in the unfolding of the mystery. Anyway, this is a question of personal preferences and as such there was nothing wrong with the author's way of elaboration - it just didn't sit well with me.However, what was definitely "curious", to the extent of annoying me,  was the insatiable sexual attraction between Dawn and Cree. Just to put things into the right frame: I do appreciate hot, sizzling and sheet-fisting sex scenes - as long as they are well integrated into the plot. This was definitely not the case in this book.This isn't my first book of this author and usually Donna Fletcher delivers. However, this time  felt "humbugged" and I'm not sure if I can recommend this book.
