I enjoyed this book. Not as good as the Key trilogy (my other Roberts venture) but still good. Eve Dallas is a great, tough, interesting character and I want to read more books in the series. Here's the deal: female characters in genre fiction are becoming more and more interesting to me than women in literary fiction. I read a lot of literary fiction by “serious female writers” for my book club. I'm getting disappointed in the decisions (or lack thereof) of female characters. Stuff just happens to them! They aren't in control of events or the narrative! WTF? It's almost 2010 folks, and woman isn't synonymous with victim. I used to just think it was the Oprah books but it's more than that. Anyway, more women's fiction on the horizon for me. I'm getting on the ranty bandwagon with Jennifer Weiner.
