I had hoped this book would be the start of a new obsession for me. I mean it lasted all the way until the letter 'Y' and only there because the author died during/before the letter 'Z' could be finished. Unfortunately, this one just could not hold my attention enough. I am not sure if they get better later on or not, but I just have too many other books that I would like to read to find out especially since book one left me so underwhelmed. 2.5 stars.
