I enjoyed the book as a fast-paced read, something to keep my mind off things. I found the characters to be pretty flat but the book is very plot driven with many twists and turns so I didn't feel as though it took away from what the author set out to do. There were a few points where I found the characters to be annoying, that being said I will probably read another book by this author.
