I received an ebook version of this book for free from House Party/Chatterbox and Net Gallery in exchange for my honest review.

Sadly, I did not enjoy this book. I did finish it, but I felt that there were many problems. First, the writing is pretty unremarkable. Some very cliche dialogue and far too much vulgarity for no reason. Second, the characters are pretty much all flat. The main character, Juliet, is a train wreck. If she were a real person, she'd surely meet the criteria for some sort of personality disorder. Just about every character in the book is horribly moody. Third, so much of what takes place is just absurd. I can't believe that every man in this town would be mesmerized by Juliet, but that seems to be what happens in the book. And every relationship between Juliet and others (and honestly, between just about any two characters in the book) runs hot and cold. It will be all roses and sunshine one sentence, and suddenly in the next they have turned against each other. Finally, the actual mystery is mediocre at best. The "who" is pretty hard to believe.

This is not a series I would recommend.
