Not the usual Christine Feehan, but I liked it. The heat level was a LOT lower than her stuff usually is, and was largely fade to black/behind closed door. The slow build worked for me, and I liked the girl group cast's antics, though they often had little to do with the actual plot or character development.

The mystery was not terribly suspenseful - I had a good idea (correct) of who it was pretty early on. But it was still enjoyable following the characters discoveries. And I think fitting with their characters as to how the realizations were made.

This is very different from her usual style, but I don't think it valid to keep creatives in a box of set expectations, so I'm glad when they branch out. This style has a few kinks to work out, but it's an interesting direction if she chooses to continue working in this way.
