I couldn't get into this one. I feel like there is a good foundation of something there, but up until about 65% of the book, I struggled to connect to the world enough to care about what was happening. It was fast paced but more of the jumping around sort of thing. I just felt it needed a little more umph. Also the romance just felt.. weird? No tension, or buildup, or enough sturdy development to make the romance feel substance.
