Ratings and reviews

This is a terrible book. Please, do not read unless you like confusing, sloppy, and chaotic stories. I found myself stopping several times to make sure I didn't miss something in the story. I didn't. The author just jumped from one scenario to the next without any thing connecting them. No story, no explanation. The characters are confusing and information is always held back by them or from them. Even in life and death scenes. The one thing this book does have in spades is action. There is always action.

Offensive to anyone who likes to read. Characters are so one dimensional that they are cardboard cutouts. Everyone has 2 emotions... yelling and simpering. Men are condescending to all women and all women lap it up like being called 'darling' by men they have known for a mere 2 minutes is the best thing in the world. Do not read, you will cry a river of frustration before you get 30 pages in to it.

Ugh. I could not keep reading this book. Had to move on. I wanted to like it and gave it a go but I just couldn't get past certain things. The premise is interesting but, again, ugh.
