Query: Wow, this was a lousy book

I second most of the feelings expressed by the people before me who didn't like this book. I've read everything else in this series and this is undoubtedly the weakest of all. The characters are so uninteresting, and the action is unrealistically laid out. I was so bored by it I ended up skimming most of it and then just giving up and reading the last chapter to see how it ended (not that I cared much by that point). And, sheesh, are Mel and Jane ever going to get anywhere in their relationship? I don't understand the two of them at all--we never hear much about their attraction or anything.) A VERY disappointing book. I doubt I'll continue to read the series from here.
