This is a good story and I found myself liking it more than I thought I would at first. As others have mentioned, it could definitely do with an editor or at least a proofreader. I've certainly read books with more and/or worse editing errors but they happened enough in this book that it would take me out of that world just a bit when I'd spot another one.And that's a shame because the author does have talent and has come up with a good story. She does a good job of building characters and making you interested in what will happen to them (and in some cases, what has happened to them in the past that we don't know details about yet).The book is written from the perspective of several different characters and I was impressed that, overall, she did a good job of making them each distinctive voices and personalities. There were some characters I didn't really like much but once I read the chapters written in their voice....Well, I didn't necessarily like them much more but I did understand them better and was a little more empathetic.I liked this book well enough that I bought the sequel as soon as I finished this one. I'll get the third in the series as well when it comes out. I'd recommend both books...though I do wish she'd at least find someone willing to proofread for her. I'd have rated this 5 stars if not for that.
