If you haven't read Written in Red, stop and go read that. Amazon has this marked as book 1 in a spin off series, but it is really building upon the first five books that start with Written in Red, so while this one only mentions Meg and Simon a couple of times, you are definitely going to be lost if you pick up this book without reading the others because it takes place after all the HFL stuff in the first five.
If you like the Written in Red group of first five books of the others series you are going to like this one. It's a little different, a little more adult, but you still aren't getting a relationship right away. I'm a little confused as to where the story is going to go after book 1, only in the sense that they seemed to get rid of the big bad pretty quickly and easily, so I'm not really sure who or what the conflict will be in the future books.
Like the first five books in the others series you have a broken woman who is trying to start her life over as she makes a home for herself with some equally broken people and others. There is a romance that can't be because of battle scars, until those scars heal enough and we get a kiss and they live happily ever after type ending. (I'm assuming it will be like that in this one too. I'm hoping we actually get to see them as a couple for at least a book, may be at a wedding for Meg and Simon). I think my only real complaints is in Written in Red we got to see Meg doing things to earn the trust and friendship of the others around her, but it is just sort of instant here, and that really takes something away.
