Was this supposed to be a romance novel? I had such high expectations for this book, but I was so let down. I just didn't like it at all. I thought the addition of two new perspectives, Isabel and Cole, just made it awkward and amateurish. Cole was especially irritating. I mean, a drug addict and depressed rock-star? It just made the book even more distant. Isabel was pretty bad too, with her depressed cynical personality that just kind of irked me. I'm not saying that dark characters are bad, but if the design is not executed correctly everything will slowly fall apart. Now, to the romance between Sam and Grace. Uh, what exactly was Maggie expecting readers to think when the romance that caused them to keep reading randomly fizzled into a boring relationship? Seriously?! I was scrambling through the pages, trying to find something to reinstate the trust in Maggie's romance writing capability. So as my eyes scanned the last page, I was left with a choice. Stop reading the series, or give Maggie another chance? Well, I can say this, the Forever (the next book in the Shiver series) review
