Dark Sky is a skimmable read. You won't miss out on much by doing so. Dark Sky could have been great if I hadn't guessed in 50 pages at what the whole mystery was. 

Not only that, I found it annoying how Juliet made excuses and made it out like the mentality of the men in her life about her being a US Marshal was okay. That maybe, because she was a female and therefore she worried her parents more than their sons, that she should just quit and go back to landscaping. The author, I feel, is making it out like this mentality is made into a bigger deal than it should be and that is something I greatly disagree with. 

Also, the relationship between Juliet and Ethan was so off for me. Who, in their right mind, would want to be in a relationship with a guy who kept stringing her along with information. I get part of it was his job, but he knew that information was vital to her and yet he refused. That is the kind of guy he is and although there were parts of him I liked, I can't imagine being okay with a relationship with him in that fashion. But just looking at how she wrote the romance, there wasn't as much heat as I thought there would be. 

Another issue, was Wendy. She is suppose to be a smart 17 year old, yet she acts much younger than she is. Also, I just can't understand how you could rationalize someone knowing your name from the hotel and following you to a diner. 

Either way, I couldn't get past the whole issue with the mentality of men, the overly predictable mystery that I feel she thought wouldn't be so easy to guess at, and the relationship. Therefore, I could only give it two stars.
