This book was selected as part of the Kindle App Random Robin. It means that I purchased the work and I'm just giving my thoughts on it. My extended thoughts can be found on The Review Board.

Disclaimer: Baby spoiler and not suitable for children, people who hate a lot of cursing, and aren't fans of explicit porn scenes.

The first chapter started out pretty exciting. V had gotten over on some unfortunate fellow and was leaving from the West Coast to New York.

After chapter one, I felt like someone interrupted the flow of the story, inserted some cheesy porno music and all the characters (V, Savage, and Eryn) turned into porn stars.

There is so much emphasis on the sex acts that the narrative starts getting lost in the shuffle. The author must have realized this, too, because she crafts this "sudden flashback" that sets the tone for the ending action of the story.

For me, it takes away from the effectiveness of V's character. It makes me wonder if that type of action is her signature m.o. This twist makes her seem more sloppy than sophisticated with her motives and movements.

At the end, the author decides to reintroduce Savage and Eryn. I think the flow of the story could have been improved if their points of view (thoughts) were interwoven throughout V's narrative. One example was when Savage stumbled upon Eryn and V. His internal thought process would have been wonderful to place in that section. For me, these segments being placed at the end served as a replay of already recurring action.

Despite the non-stop action and almost flawless spelling and grammar, it just wasn't enough to fill in the gaps relevant to plot and full character development. I did expect more.
