I really tried. I made it past 200 pages and decided to give up on this one. I have not read Gena Showalter before but I rolled my eyes on several occasions at her writing style.
And the meaningless torture that did nothing to move the plot along. Looking at the reviews on Goodreads it seems I'm not the only one that doesn't like this book. As it's a long one I just don't have the heart to bother finishing.
Maybe I'll try one of her more popular series at one point....
