HORRIBLE. I NEVER leave a book unfinished but I got halfway through this (struggled for that half) and just gave up b/c I didn't give a dang.
I like action/adventures novels. This could have seen Nina as a Laura Croft figure .... brains w/ plenty of brawn, and Eddie as Indiana Jones.... brawn w/ plenty of brains. Instead they came off as the Bickersons. Petty, always "SHOOTING dirty looks" and rolling their eyes at each other. My only guilty pleasure about reading (half of) this book was when one of the "Tiresome Duo" was in peril I would root for the other to "LEAVE THEM ALONE. LET 'EM PERISH." It would have greatly improved the story.
