I enjoyed this more than I originally thought that I would. Probably shouldn't have doubted - Jeaniene writes great characters! 
 It took me about 80% of the book to come around to liking Denise. She just seemed to lack real personality! Or maybe I just didn't like her personality. Either way, she bored me and frustrated me. By the end of the book though, I feel "ok" about her. Spade on the other hand was hot hot hot right from the start. 
 Overall, an enjoyable read, just don't expect "Cat and Bones" chemistry.
