It's so obvious a mile away that certain actions would result in obvious events and i guess for me, it's the predictability of those moments in the book that killed the buzz for me. the general storyline is actually quite good, but i get the feeling the characters aren't quite sure whether they're adults or teens!! Maybe it's the actual performance - doubt it very much though - but i just couldn't bear the "whininess" of Violet's character, or the hedonistic teenage rebelliousness. Let me just say i've suffered through the book as best as i can. I very quickly realised i couldn't make head or tail of book 2 without reading (hearing) book 1, so i got "Embrace". Against my better judgement, i got book 2 of the series (the reviews for book 1 were not very encouraging).
