First off, this storyline has a lot of promise. Unfortunately I found this book incredibly hard to follow. The dialogue is confusing to follow and I often found myself re-reading to see who was speaking. I also found that the characters made these great leaps in understanding with very little understanding on my part as to how that had happened - again I did a lot of re-reading to see if I had missed something. I'm ok with not knowing everything but I seriously had trouble keeping up with this one, and that's saying something because I read a lot of genres and have never had this problem before. Like I said, the storyline has promise. I enjoyed that aspect of it but I think the plot would benefit greatly from some tightening and consistency in timeline and characters. Do not be misled by the title, as this book might not be what you would first imagine. Released from Walter Reed Hospital, Sergeant Alexandra Hargreaves settles in her hometown of Denver, Colorado. With her family and friends close, and her enemies closer, she strives to collect the pieces of her shattered life. Then things fall apart.Haunted by the past, and terrorized in the present, Alex must reach past pain, through memory, and beyond the grave to find her self, and her future.I found this book very difficult to get into. In places I found it quite confusing and found myself rereading pieces just to check who was who in relation to other characters. I have to admit that a couple of times I nearly gave up on this book, but that was more to do with the style of writing more than anything else. I do not think that I will be looking for the other books in the series just yet.
What do You think about The Fey (2009)?
Eh...not nearly as good as I expected it to be...got really confusing at some points...
