This was my first book by Tanarive Due. It definately won't be my last. The book grabs you from page one and doesn't let go until the very last word.It has a little of everything. Suspense, romance, murder. You name it its there.

The book started off great and captured my interest right away. Towards the middle it started to die down but picked back up again around page 175. If you can hold on until then, it gets back to the good parts and it's really scary/eerie. I like the writing style. Each sentence flowed together beautifully. Once you get 3 quarters of the way through the book, you won't want to put it down.

I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. It is still a good book. Entertaining and fast. Kept my attention for a couple of hours. The one outstanding thing about it is the dialogue. It is as natural as can be, and I could hear the conversations as if I were eavesdropping in a normal house. However there wasn't much mystery in it for me and, without spoiling, the strong, intelligent main character should have been able to skip chapters when she saw the bus years later. And I felt sorry for the poodle. Enough said.
