I read this because I’d seen some rave reviews. I was really disappointed however. 

The book started well and I enjoyed the initial pace and the characterisation. It soon went downhill for me though. I predicted the ending long before it came and hated how it descended into unrealistic melodrama, with the characters becoming unbelievable. 

Not for me and I won’t be reading any others in the series. A shame as it started really well. Just my opinion of course.
