Reviews
Harris is a breezy writer that keeps you engaged. Unfortunately, I thought this entry was a little predictable. She spends a great amount of time on each character's story, setting up the series I would suppose (this is book #2). I listened to the audio book, which probably added to my irritation. The reader was toooooo slow and her voices were grating. If you looking for light, go for it; otherwise, read one of Harris' other series and maybe come back to this one if it turns out to be something.… (more)

Wish I could give it 3.5 stars. Whereas 4 stars would denote something more akin to literature, imho, 3 stars is a little too ungracious. In any case, every Harris book I've read has satisfied the need to be entertained. They're pulpy, but fast and interesting. You know what you're getting and that's okay.
