Not worth the time
After the first few chapters, I just started skimming. It was stupid and boring at the same time. I think that it could have been a good story but . . . for one thing, the main characters decide that they love each other in about a minute. Granted, this is romantic suspense, but the main guy meets the girl, doesn't see her for a year, feels guilt about how he treated her, sees her again, loves her. Boom. Book over. There is no characterization to either main character. There is nothing except the mystery. He is rich and she is psychic. That's about it. The main lead has two brothers and a sister, I'm assuming to set up future books, but they're given so little time I have no interested in reading their stories. Second, it's supposed to be romantic suspense with this psychic edge. The psychic part doesn't bother me -- I think that her KGI book with the psychic girl and the army brother was my favorite book. This, however, was just ridiculous. There were so many things left out. The killer has a hold on the girl -- how? why? when? The backstory with her saving someone that he was killing and him stalking her from then on out . . . ok, he knows where she is at all times but doesn't physically come after her during that time? The one time he gets close enough she runs off. Literally, she is running. He has no car? But, she thinks he lets her go just to . . . play with her? GIve her a lead so he can mentally stalk her again? Ok, sure. Then, he's able to get into the mind of Caleb. Makes total sense, right? Keeping a hold on two different people at one time? Sure. I don't know. I really used to enjoy Banks' KGI series but those have really gone downhill for me and now this as well. Either her writing style has changed or my reading habits are different, I don't know. I do know I'm not enjoying her books anymore.
