The summary as published gave a good tease, but the book didn't quite deliver. Dialog was stilted, and the characters themselves were a bit flat.Sean Rylan is portrayed by the author as incorrigible, but lovable, but came across to me as a megalomaniac. I thought the affection between he and his sister was quite well portrayed, showing two very close siblings. Otherwise, I don't think I'd like Sean very much. He tells people around him how it's going to be, and they suck it up. Might complain a little, but he puts them through the wringer, including leaving his sister to deal with messes she's going to have to clean up.Adding insult to injury, both the sister and his sister are alternatively described as "women" and then "girls" in need of rescue. The sister is partially redeemed by being well thought of by the bad guy in the story, but it really doesn't develop the story any.There was some great suspense, and I think with a little more character development, this could become very good instead of just an average story line.I received a free copy of this in consideration for review.
