I picked this book up because it has everything that I enjoy reading, suspense, mystery, history, mysticism, and a little bit of romance. I'd have to say that the first half of the book had me intrigued and kept my attention with the character/plot building and learning the history of tarot cards. But once I got to the middle/second half of the book, my interest and intrigue started to wane and the plot started to lose my interest. 

I did find the ended to be quite a plot twist though that I actually enjoyed and didn't feel like the book left you on a cliffhanger.
