I tried really hard to like this book, but it was horrible.  It had the potential to be good, but it was not done  well.Characters were introduced with no apparent forethought; EXCESSIVE (truly excessive) description of the desert which did not add value to the story, the clueless heroine [Alex] who kept having "feelings and inklings" about the many shady characters but ignored her intuition......just foolish!  And what's up with the white (or was it yellow) Volkswagen?  Introduced but why; what reason did it serve?  Alex & Nick's romp in the sack......okay, but so what?  And the "ah ha" moment regarding Uncle Wiggly and Alex's repressed memory of her "almost" child abuse; for goodness sakes, ridiculous!  It's as if the author had many random thoughts and put them on paper, lost track and tried to tie them together at the end.  Whatever!I finished it but I made a vow to myself that next time, despite the purchase, I will not continue reading a poorly written book.  There are too many well written novels to command my reading pleasure.  Sorry.
