I didn't realize that it was guilty of dues ex machina until you pointed it out. That was only half of the reason why I hated the ending but it was definitely a big part of it. <br /><br />It is a standalone. I would say it's a borrow from the library kind of book.

Thanks for warning me about this book because I was drawn to the cover, and intrigued by the synopsis on EW. It seems such a waste of a potentially good novel for not taking a little extra time in editing and story development.La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.com
