I'm a huge fan of this author but this book was really disappointing. So many grammatical errors, it felt like there wasn't any editing done. The story was not good, the characters were bleh. As I was reading it I kept feeling like the author didn't even care about these characters. But still I powered through, only to get to the end and see an author's note that this is a standalone and that she's not interested in continuing this particular story/series. It basically felt like confirmation that she didn't want to write the story, in which case, why publish it?
