I'm sorta torn on this book. I liked reading it but I didn't LOVE reading it. There were pros and cons. 
 I didn't really feel close to any of the characters and as a matter of fact I felt nothing for them (Is that bad?). I think the main reason for this was that it's written in first person and really that means you have one character to like and that's it. I really believe it if hadn't been in first person I would really love this. 
 This book was middle of the road, there were parts that I loved and kept me reading, but sometimes the book seemed to drag on and on and become slow. There seemed to be a lot focusing on the kidnapping, almost too much of the book, maybe that's why I liked the last 75 pages the most? 
 I would like to see where this series goes, and will try out the second book as I think Taber has talent just it needs to be fined tuned a little.
