This is a hard book for me to rate because I liked some parts but disliked others. There was just too many different plot points going on for me to really get into it. I didn't like how the plot point for Alyssa and Sam ended in this book. I was bored by the historical flashbacks and felt they interupted the flow of the story. I also didn't like how they didn't resolve the situtation that Teri had in the beginning of the book with a superior officer. I was irritated by how Stan did everything in his power to push Teri towards someone else. It made me not want to continue the series hence the 2 stars.
