Review: I picked up this book at the recommendation of a Chapters salesperson in Vancouver on a recent trip. Started reading it on the plane on the way home. I enjoyed the Vancouver references since I'd just visited a few of these places. It even referenced blueberry tea which I ordered once thinking I was actually getting blueberry tea!

This book had a lot of characters which I sometimes had trouble keeping straight, but which I wanted to know more about. The book could have been longer, with more development of the characters. But I was instantly grabbed by Jackson Cole, and desperately hope Ms. Smith includes him as the main character in a series. I loved the pace of the novel and the tension it created. I was left wanting the story to go on, and will look for the sequel. I do fear, though, that my memories of Vancouver will now be influenced by this book . . . was Jackson Cole someone I met on my trip, . . . or not?

Review: interesting story. good involved plot. I found that the detailed references to Vancouver and surrounding locales distracted from the story. If you are from Vancouver, you don't need them and if you are not they don't matter. I think the characters are good. Would like to hear more about Jackson Cole.
