I like the overall premise.And Keeley could have been a great character.Unfortunately, this story just doesn't come together for me.  I think part of the problem was the way P.S. Power seems to hate adult men.  I don't think there was a single father in the story who comes across as even slightly sympathetic.  Most were venal and evil men who were mere foils for the main character and her suddenly discovered older half-sister.The rest of the cast also plays a bit towards the "faceless cilche character".  Keeley is definitely fleshed out, but beyond her the story is mostly fluff.  I had a hard time finding the main plot thread and the story meanders around at times.  It was almost as if P.S. Power wasn't sure where she wanted to take the story.  I never got a feeling that the events being described were for a specific reason and they just appeared to be occuring to move the story along.This might be because this is the first book in a series and P.S. Power was attempting to set up future plot lines, which is what the story felt like.  But if its going to be a setup piece, the characters have to be much more engaging.  I found this story interesting, but not engaging, and I have yet to decide if I'll pick up book two.  Currently I'm not looking at getting it anytime soon.
