<b>I give 2.5 stars</b>

Started out great, then fell apart in the middle. Went from a joy to read, to a chore. I felt the characters were pretty under-developed, especially Dix. I can fit all I know about her on the head of a pin. The story was drawn out too much for my liking as well. The best part for me was the mystery. I was guessing and reassessing at almost every page turn.

My biggest pet peeve was all the recapping of scenes. Like when a show goes to a commercial and it comes back they sometimes do a recap of where we left off. That garbage didn't start until the middle somewhere. Annoyed the hell out of me. I wanted to scream "Dude! I just read this scene 1.5 seconds ago I don't need a freaking recap!!" At first I thought it was a copy & paste job, but the words aren't exactly identical. For that reason, I won't be reading the rest of the series.
