Romantic suspense is my favourite genre but till now I have only read one book by Anne Stuart - [b:Black Ice|24248|Black Ice (Ice, #1)|Anne Stuart|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1367443741s/24248.jpg|25136]. And, despite its great reviews, I wasn't really impressed. That is probably the reason it took me more than two years to read another book by this author and it was only because it suited one of my challenges.

And I tried really hard to like this book but I just couldn't. There were so many things that annoyed me. Silly and naïve Sophie. Griffin who is actually quite boring and irritatingly sex oriented. The fact that everyone seems to know better what is going on between Sophie and Griffin and aims to give her advice. The non-existent suspense part. The unsurprising villain. It was too much to enjoy the reading.

I also didn't like the first sex scene, it seemed so accidental and passionless. And it was too early regarding the non-existent relationship between Griffin and Sophie. I think the whole relationship between them was rather passionless. And it was completely unbelievable since they knew each other only few days and rarely talk.

And somehow the suspense part wasn't really developed which is strange considering the fact that romance also wasn't the greatest part of the story. Griffin arrives to Colby to discover the killer but, except visiting graveyards, he does nothing to solve the mystery. And a person I suspected from the very beginning turned out to be killer. How disappointing!

I would give this book 2.5 stars if I could. I will probably give Anne Stuart another chance but I don't believe her books will ever work for me.
