Title: good beginning - anticlimatic ending
Review: The first 200 pages of this book had me on the "edge of my seat". The combination of mystery and almost-horror genre was excellent and the pace was just right. Diana's struggles and relationships with both the "hunt" and the others were actually easy to relate to. Unfortunately, the story fell apart in the latter pages with a very weak ending. The reliance on the "power" and the mystical strength of both Diana and the antagonist were just a bit much for me. The book moved from a credible human suspense with believable characters and action to a superhuman or supernatural non-thriller by the end. By the time the climax occurred, I cared little about who won or whether I read the rest of the book. Sullivan also spent very little time on characterization of other players in the book...only the painfully long descriptions of Diana's past. This book reminded much of Congo...great start...poor finish.
