Surprised at all the 4-5 star reviews. Yes, the plot is interesting and fast moving. There is always something new happening, keeping you wanting to know what happens next. But it seems like Sarah never gets into any real trouble; she's always able to escape without a hitch. Too easy, too unbelievable.She's a tough heroine, which is great to see. Unfortunately, I think it's a bit overdone and unbelievable. She is all about being rude, talking back to authority, and testing her limits. Which would be okay at times, but she literally has no charm or like-ability about her, unless you count her objective to kill the bad guy.The author attempts to build Sarah's character by talking about her sister's past and why she wants to kill the bad guy. But I don't think it's enough. All the characters are pretty 1.5 dimensional (the 0.5 is for some effort). The villain has absolutely no redeeming qualities that we can feel sorry for or relate to, which is an essential missing ingredient.The author could be very good if he develops his character development skills. Bottom line, I'd read this book again for free, but if I had to pay, I'd choose something better. I liked this third book in the Sarah Roberts series. Sarah's messages from her dead sister leads her to Hungary where she tries to find and kill Armond, the person that raped and killed her sister. Another government agency is trying to capture Sarah to utilize her "gifts" for their own use. Faking her own death seems to only solution.This was a fast paced thriller and I really enjoyed it. I gave it a 5.0.
What do You think about The Crypt (2011)?
Don't like Sarah Roberts any more. Story line still OK but character wise she's just not likeable.
