Couldn't get lost enough in the story to overlook the need for better editting....sentences that didn't work well, parts that seemed to contradict each other.... On a personal note, I'm not as big a fan of books where they spend a lot of time describing things (the people, what they're wearing, what they eat, what the furniture looks like). I enjoy descriptions, but when it feels like there's more time spent on that than the plot, it's not as interesting for me. There was definite potential here for this new author, but I have a feeling her style isn't right for me. Oh yeah, and it resolved itself way too quickly at the end....felt like it came out of nowhere. Oh well...
