This story had a good plot, but left me a little cold. I found the narration a little on the amateur side, the love scenes lacking, and the ending unsatisfying. Younger readers may identify more with the characters and enjoy it.The heroine, Katie, seems a little childish and spoiled. For example, when her boyfriend tells her that the belongings she left behind are in storage, she is glad because she'd hate to think of all of her Gucci bags being donated to Goodwill and sold for $1. She was upset, so she took off for Europe, leaving behind her car, phone, computer, and most of her clothes. She doesn't call a single person to tell them she is OK and hasn't been abducted. Ironically, that is exactly what someone is trying to do. Even though her family knew she was upset, it seems improbable that her family would have made no attempt to investigate her disappearance.The ending seems rushed. While I recognize that there is another book in the series that will hopefully answer some of the unanswered questions, for readers of this book, loose ends are not tied up. I'm not sure I could recommend this book. It did not hold my attention.
