Rating: 2 out of 5

i am SO confused by all of the 5 star ratings...especially since i hardly ever rate below a 4 and I thought it was bad.Anyway, there are so many things wrong with this 'book'... the storyline was stupid...it's a cold case, why is she sneaking around trying to 'solve' it like a 10 year old?? If you have info (which she does-the name), go to the police....I get that she had to lie to get the internship, but she could have been honest to Bentley about her dad's case(it's her sister's dad too) and he could have helped her, no biggie-like I said boring cold case that no one cares about (sorry Ceci's dad)...what is with this company Bentley works for? I don't understand anything about it... are they reporters? How does reporting on criminal cases get you so rich, and how is there a whole company devoted to it?? Not realistic at all. Seems shady, or just stupid....it grosses me out that Ceci is in high school. I know she is 18, and he is only 26, but just the fact she is in high school is not okay for me. I don't want to hear about someone's sexcapades as they're on their way to 5th period....why is this set in Omaha??? YAWN. The most interesting thing about Omaha is that Peyton and Eli Manning have a weird obsession with yelling it at football games....Ceci is an annoying, immature child...there is no basis of a relationship between Bentley and Ceci...except they think each other is hot....no chemistry (except during sex scene) b/t B & C. Neither character had any emotional depth and I do not care about them at all. Horrible character development. I think the author needs to learn how to 'show not tell' in this area....i think there was supposed to be mystery and suspense.......? It was too boring for suspense, and too stupid for mystery.theres more little nit-picky things that I won't go into, but I am just disappointed, I was expecting to love this. I won't be finishing the series, and probably won't read another book from this author. thankful it was only $.99 (I feel bad for writing such a negative review, but I feel like people need to see this instead of all the 5-stars)
