It loses in the same way I think all Moon books I have come across do: it contains main character rape. I would put up with it in one book, but not in every book of a series. That should not be your series hallmark. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/738730?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
