Wow! I have to say, after the first few paragraphs I want to devour this book. I love the cover, it hints that the person who stole Sebastian is close to home. I am instantly interested in Marin, and finding out more about her as a character - why does Derek work away so much? What is the dynamic with Sal - he never asks about Derek; why? Does he hate him? Who was dressed as Santa? I am also intrigued by the affair... this author is good!
