Yes! I loved the writing, but disliked the story and the turn it took. She has some wonderful word play in her writing.

Elena’s interaction with the bear did not fit her character at all. I often found Sam annoying and irritating. I LOVED Phillips first novel which gave me high hopes for her second. But if fell short. Still, Phillips is a good writer and she built up the suspense quite powerfully towards the end of this story but it just did not come all together as a great story.
