The premise of this book was very interesting. A group of students at a religious college being drugged and brainwashed into begging for BDSM even though they don't really know what they are doing and then being filmed and murdered. The main character, Rachel goes undercover into the college looking for evidence of the pregnancy of a senator's daughter. The many complications in the story include a past relationship with Elijah, a CIA agent working undercover with Rachel as well as the seeming death of her brother. Even though I liked the early part of the story, most of the complications were just too easily overcome causing the book to end with more questions than it answered and problems being solved without much explanation. At the end of the book, the question of Rachel's brother is left unanswered. Since this was not really part of a series, I'm not even sure if that question ever gets answered in another book. I really wanted to love this book, but too many plot gaps left at the end just made it hard understand how things had been resolved.… (mehr)

Dead Right was the beginning of a series that sounded interesting to me. I really loved the first three quarters of this book. The two main characters, Dante and Cat, went through so much, all the while thinking the other was responsible. The build up was great, but the ending didn't pay off as I had hoped. The last few chapters, which should have been emotion packed, were drab and limp. It was quite a let down. The trust issues surrounding both characters were settled way too quickly and easily leaving me feeling as though I had been cheated. What a disappointment.… (mehr)
