I don't think the book is for me. The cover for one thing. Seriously. I know judging a book by its cover is something that is frowned upon, but it is one of my main ways of choosing a book. And it works. And this does not look like it is for me. Add to that your comments about predictable plot, I doubt the characters can make up for it. Unless they are the main focus of the book, in which case I doubt you would have focused so much on the plot in your review.

But this is good. Too many books. Elimination is necessary.
