I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened, even as I wasn’t enjoying what was happening. I finished this book in about two days, so I cannot say I did not enjoy it. I debated whether I even wanted to read the third book in the series, and hesitantly picked it up as it was on sale. I was also annoyed with how Spencer was depicted in that book, though I cannot remember why.
