I read this for a book club and it's not something I would have picked up on my own, ever. That said, here is the audience for this book: People who like their thrillers to be thinly disguised romance novels. People who like Lifetime made for TV movies in which sort of scary things happen to well to do white girls. People who think the Beauty and The Beast plot is uber-romantic. The characters all fell flat for me, some of them are such stereotypes I couldn't stop my eyes from rolling in my head (the detective who hates all rich men and sees all females as needing rescue- gag). Even the cover is flat. Mia is not a ten year old girl with inhuman blue eyes.
It wasn't to my taste, but it's an easy read. I do not feel it even danced near any real issues or emotions, but I guess I could see where it could lead to discussions about real topics. I see YA crossover appeal here.
