If I finish a book and can't remember the character's names than it really wasn't that good. This sounds a bit like that. It sounds okay though. I may give it a try when I get to the bottom of the MOUND that is my TBR. :D I do love your reviews, Jenny. <br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.intheclosetbibliophile.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">In the Closet With a Bibliophile</a>Jen (@ Jens Book Closet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02339586413882184139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-60173316557522659002011-09-07T16:15:11.547-04:002011-09-07T16:15:11.547-04:00Ashley - Thank you *hugs your face*

Characters are always my favorite part of a story, and they were just lacking a tiny bit in this one for me:(<br /><br />Blodeuedd - It's well written and I would read more of this author, this one just didn't wow me.<br /><br />Missie - I did like that it was hard to tell if things were really happening or if someone was doing it to themselves or what. That was the most interesting part:)<br /><br />Zahida - It was definitely a bit slow for me, and while that added to the eerie quality, I wanted a bit more action.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-3282117115125461262011-09-07T16:09:34.462-04:002011-09-07T16:09:34.462-04:00I like that it's hard to question what's a...I like that it's hard to question what's an illusion and what's reality with this one but the plot sounds slow.

I did win the book so I'll see. I was just hoping for something much more. I think it is the lack of really connecting to the character that makes it more of a loss.
