As I'm a obsessively organized person I can't walk by one without reading it;) I'm not sure about the love triangle (why does the story have to have one...), but the strong mystery elements plus serial killer are pushing me more towards the pro reading side. Will give The Naturals a try. Thanks for your review!

Not sure what that says about us, hah.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked this overall, despite some issues. I need to pick it up sometime.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/12/dickens-christmas-seance.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-53926346713329613782013-12-17T03:46:14.866-05:002013-12-17T03:46:14.866-05:00Ohhh I gave this 3.5 stars too!

I like certain parts, but I also find most of it implausible, and I don't like Cassie very much. And the love triangle is driving me nuts.<br />Great review!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-38358574431150953512013-12-16T09:56:37.984-05:002013-12-16T09:56:37.984-05:00The premise of this book didn't really grab me...The premise of this book didn't really grab me but I do love mystery stories so I might give it a shot, only with really low expectations and suspending disbelief when I do read it.

That sort of stole any enthusiasm that I might have had. But I'm glad you liked this overall, despite finding Cassie quite monotonous.
