Ceritanya sama sekali gak jelas. Dez membeli gedung Tyler-Royale untuk dihancurkan, disaat yang sama Gina menginginkan tempat tersebut sebagai tempat baru untuk museum yang dikelolanya.
Dez menawarkan tempat lain, tapi Gina menolaknya karena ukurannya tidak jauh berbeda dari gedung yang lama. Dez menawarkan menjual gedung Tyler-Royale, dengan syarat yang aneh, dan setelah Gina menyanggupinya hal itu tetap tidak terjadi.
Entah kenapa seluruh cerita terkesan berputar-putar tanpa inti yang jelas. Karakter Dez sama sekali tidak menarik, dan terkesan jahat.
Ini cerita gimana ya? tau deh apa yang aneh. Apa emang kisah penceritaannya, terjemahannya? Yang pasti, jalan ceritanya, terjemahannya benar-benar gak menyenangkan buat dibaca.
Padahal sebenernya ceritanya bisa jadi bagus. Makanya bingung, apa yang salah dengan novel ini. Beberapa karya Leigh Michaels yang diterbitin GPU sebelumnya, gak ada masalah kok. Terjemahannya bagus, jalan ceritanya oke.
