I'm giving this one a 3.5 because I have heard the series gets a lot better. I will say that there are a lot of threads that remain dangling by the end of this book, including a lot of the "big questions." I really like Olivia which is why I'll give the second book another try but this one felt a little too long with a lot of stuff thrown at the wall. I hope we get a lot of answers soon or I may not continue with the series.
