I always wonder why they would buy the second book but not the first in a series -- marketing strategy maybe? x) LOL I think that (hopefully) you would've enjoyed this more if you read the first few too, but I'm glad it wasn't an absolute bust. The amazing mystery and awesome intertwining skills are definitely my selling points! I love it when you can't piece things together before the reveal in a mystery -- that's the way it always should be, I think! <br /><br />Amazing honest review, B! I will be sure to start at the beginning if I read this series! ;) <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-34478796831659196282012-06-22T08:05:17.697-07:002012-06-22T08:05:17.697-07:00Hmmmm.

It's always frustrating for me when a romance is added when it doesn't seem vital to the plot, I'm a huge fan or romance so it's actually giving me a nervous tick to type that, but I'd rather the romance at least progress the plot in some way or, like you said, be absent altogether.

I wonder what's behind her near-supernatural powers of intuition. Maybe it's covered in the first couple books, like you said.
