Not up to her usual standards
As a rabid fan of Amanda Quick, when this book first came out, I was eager to get it. Once I started reading however, it was quickly apparent that this was not going to as good as her previous books. The plotline was weak, and I didn't particularly like the characters. Artemis was too dark and Madeline was too flaky. Tried as she might, I just couldn't get into this book. If you want to start reading Amanda Quick, start with 'With This Ring' and 'I Thee Wed', they are her best. Hopefully the next one will be better.
