I found this to be soooooo boring!

The characters are too shallow to like, the theme of the story centers around ballroom dancing and even though I watch DWS this just can't get you excited about it.

Mary is a student of ballroom dancing wanting to compete, Jake her boyfriend beats up on her, her mother is a lush then finds out she has cancer, the cops are dull, it takes over half the book for Mary to get rid of Jake, the description (which there a lot of it) of the dancing is just boring compared to actually seeing it. Needless to say I did not finish this too booooooring!

A mild afternoon for someone but really isn't a suspenseful/thriller, just a dull read. Lutz can do better than this one.
