The story was good, very very very predictable. I knew the ending about 5 chapters before the main character got to it, so that was irritating. It was written EXACTLY like the Sookie books. Which I don't love. I was always just under the assumption that that was how she wrote Sookie, but I'm coming to see that that's her writing style and it's not exactly how I like to read books. She mentions every.single.stupid detail. Like do I really need to know how the main character feels about the color of nail polish she picks? Not really. 
 Typically I'm able to disconnect from that and just enjoy the story, but I've really been bothered by it in the last couple Sookie books and now that I just picked up this series I noticed it more and it bugs me. But, like I said, it's a personal thing. 
 The book was a quick read, took me just a few hours to read. Like I said, I was annoyed with just how obvious the plot was and how long it took the characters to get to the realization point. It also bugs me how stupid she makes her character be. To do everything that she supposedly does she needs to be relatively smart, but Harris makes her appear very dim and VERY very needy. Almost to the point that it feels weird how dependant she is on her brother. This may change in later books, and i currently have Grave Surprise in my hand to start reading, so we shall see, but until then I'm sticking with my conjecture.
