Scenario One:
When you meet the gorgeous, charismatic, husband type..

Sometimes when you go on a first date, there is an instant connection and you know that this is it. I've found the one. Maybe he took you to a play, or just a really nice dinner. But in all honesty, location doesn’t matter. He may have pulled out your chair, opened your car door, and took off your coat. By the end of the evening, you were trying to think of ways to prolong the date, you didn't want to go home. You were also hoping for a kiss. Finally, when he does kiss you, there were sparks, you had chills! I’m talking major fireworks, ladies.. you know what I mean. Then he left and for the next couple of days you were watching your phone, waiting for it to ring.. finally, it did.



Scenario Two:
When you meet the eh..not so much..let's just be friends..type

This is your first date with someone your friend set you up with and you are really excited. You think to yourself, "maybe this will be my last first date I ever have to go on." You meet him.. he is OK, not bad looking. You go out to dinner and there is nice conversation. The date wasn’t terrible, but there was no passion, no instant chemistry. You think to yourself, "maybe he just isn't good at the art of a first date." Perhaps, the second date will be better. You decide to go on a second date and it is good, not great. Then he pulls you in for your first kiss (you didn’t really want to kiss him on the first date).. it is 'eh'. But do you really want 'eh?'.. No, you don't. You don't want to settle. You want fireworks.



If you are still reading my review, first thank you. Second, this will hopefully start to make more sense. I'm going to get to the actual book now! The description in scenario two is exactly how I felt about this book. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen. . . the.. whole..entire�� book. And finally stuff happened, but it was a case of: too little, too late.

Yes there was murder, mystery, gore, and even some intrigue! All good ingredients for a thriller, right? But I didn't find a uniqueness if you will, something that really set it apart from other thrillers that I've read, and loved. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but maybe I'm not. I don't want to settle.. and I don't think I should have to. I want to be wooed! I want to be swept off my feet.. and as an ardent lover of books, I know there are books capable of achieving this.. Unfortunately, this wasn’t one of them.

Note: I read this as a buddy read with Jen. We setup a thread to discuss the book. If you would like to see our comments, please refer to /topic/show/...

I was given this book from the publisher to read and review, however this did not influence my opinion in anyway. Thank you to the author and the publisher for giving me an opportunity to read this.
