I think it's fair to say that the writers intend to just give us a show which depicts everything that is written in the book. This makes me wonder what happens when they run out of story because they are moving at a quickly clip. Will they then move onto the other characters in the series, or will they simply create a brand new plot of the characters? Personally I really want to see something different as Clay only become more of an aggressive stalker as the story progress and it culminates in Elena agreeing to be with him. This sets up a horrible model to base a relationship in, though it is grounded in a terrible trope that is far too prevalent in this genre.
So far, I find I cannot invest in this story largely because it doesn't feel like a compelling enough story. It doesn't help that the acting all feels stilted and forced - especially that of Laura Vandervoort and Greyston Holt.
