Based on the cover and description, this is the type of book I'd immediately pick up. Unfortunately, my interest plummeted as I read. The first scene is littered with italics, meant to force emphasis on particular words and phrases. There are so many italics that I found myself sounding out words like a 5-year-old, and the story's flow was totally lost. The character's didn't capture me, but instead feel stereotypical and a little stupid. All right, a lot stupid. And, so, this one is no for me.
