I would probably have liked this book better if the protagonist hadn't been an idiotic, stupid, oblivious git. It's pretty obvious early on what's going on in this story, but Tora (she didn't like that she was originally named Thora, so she dropped the H O.o) keeps getting sucked in by people she KNOWS are untrustworthy. Add in the one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories ever, and I have to rate the book 2 stars or lower. The only reason it gets that high a rating is that the ending was kind of exciting, though also unbeliveable.

Seriously, I was hate-reading probably the last third of the book, just skimming to see how it worked out.

I may have read this book in the past and mostly forgotten it. Some aspects seemed really familiar. The rest of it was pretty forgettable though, to me at least. I hate stupid protagonists. HATE. And this woman was supposed to be a doctor. Jeezopete.
