I don't mind reading protagonists that I don't care for (or even villians for that matter) but they have to be at least interesting in some way. <br /><br />While this book didn't wow me in a way I'd expected, it did intrigue me to turn the pages.

It sounds like perhaps that it mattered here for you. You have piqued my interest in this one. It does not like a strong mystery, but it sounds like there is enough there to make it a worthwhile read.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-24046687633688848342015-03-09T15:43:34.339+08:002015-03-09T15:43:34.339+08:00Samantha - I know what you mean about reading some...Samantha - I know what you mean about reading some settings that get us excited. ;) As I mentioned, the school setting is minimal but still it's there, lol.

LOL! I know that is crazy but I have a certain fondness for thrillers set in boarding schools so I'm definitely adding this one to the TBR list. samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-2608229815871115342015-03-06T08:45:42.801+08:002015-03-06T08:45:42.801+08:00Irene - I find the mystery is ok; not one that tot...Irene - I find the mystery is ok; not one that totally blew me off. As for the characters, I didn't really care about them and I was appalled at some point over the girls' mother. Perhaps this is one reason why I didn't really feel engaged to the story.

Complicated and interesting at the same time.

It's hard to give up halfway on a mystery or thriller, unless it's really boring. ;) Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-36917330045846334102015-03-06T02:48:05.016+08:002015-03-06T02:48:05.016+08:00Thank you for the honest review.

Honestly, the school setting alone would be enough to interest me. I will likely try it at some point. And, yes, I always need to find out who did it!
