The front cover and the storyline bring T. M. Logan to mind. The writing style with its punchy, fast paced narrative from the sample I read reminded me of Shari La Pena. If you like any (or both) of the above you can't go wrong with this one. The short chapters are also a Shari La Pena trade mark and they are a personal favourite of mine as I find that they really help you get though the book quickly. The only annoying part of the first impression was the fact that it finished and I now have to wait until I win it or buy it to find out what happens next! I'd also recommend taking a look at the author's bio which also makes an interesting read. Quite an impressive individual. The fact that she wrote a novel like this (having already released a best selling debut) seems to make perfect sense
