I gave one of Lisa Jackson's books a terrible review last year, and apparently had a mental blank on the name when I picked this up at the library. Truly dreadful thriller, featuring a villian who bathes herself in blood to keep herself young. A villian who thinks at one point something like this, "Academically speaking, I know that bathing in blood can't keep me young - but, oh well." How is that a believable character?

Our hero and heroine, who endure a cringeworthy love story together, sum it up for us at the end with a "wow, she sure was crazy" dialogue. Please god, let me never get sucked in by one of Jackson's blurbs again.
