It does definitely sound like it has its merits, but I'm not sure I could get past Camden's lack of reaction - just, no.

I was just reading your comment on my If I Should Die review and wondering what book you were talking about!<br /><br />I actually really like the sound of this one, so I was hoping for good things! However, you have me all intrigued with this plot twist.
