My Thoughts:

Audio:
I liked her for this book, her voice for this book was perfect.

Book:
Some things about this book annoyed me and almost DNF'd it a few times because some of the characters were annoying. Although I understood one of them and why they reacted/thought the way they did (I tend not to be trusting of people too), I would still get annoyed. Maybe because I am on the outside looking in. It was more than that though. Sometimes, the book was just lacking something for me. I don't know what it was. I did like many of the characters though. 

It got better as it got closer to the end (about the last 4-5 chapters). I had my top 4 people I thought did it and my number one choice was right. 

It was a decent book. I will try to get to the second book, maybe the third. I want to see how certain things turn out. Now that I am familiar with the characters and her writing, we will see if I go on but it will be a while before I do and make sure that the price is a decent price first.
