It was not a bad read, plot flowed kind of quickly and there was action involved. Things do seem to be picking up, plot-wise and I do find myself intrigued with some of the newly introduced characters, namely Tasha and Adrian. I do not find myself too much a fan of Rose.. though hopefully she grows on me. I also do not find myself a fan of Dimitri (at times), but I think that's in part due to his relationship with Rose and how he deals with it -- or does not really deal with it, perhaps. I have no idea. I do like most of the rest of the cast, however, especially Christian.
