Review: Just didn't grab me
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 09 27, 2013
This book has a fairly decent premise, but the execution is rather poor and tasteless.  The book has a lot of profanity that, for me at least, adds nothing to the characters or story.  The story itself just doesn't grab me either, there really isn't much mystery involved and the plot is rather straight forward.  Until the reprehensible ending.Cliff hangers are the stuff of serialized or dime novels of yesteryear, and really have no place today.  The only apparent reason the author leaves the story unfinished is to sell the next book.  Which I'm not about to go looking for, given the quality of this one.  Which in itself is puzzling, because author Rainy Kirkland can do, and has done, better.  I suspect this book was written by the co-author, Robyn Maize, and Kirkland lent her name and some basic talent to try and sell it.  Similar to other writers, such as James Patterson and Janet Evanovich, who have expanded their offerings by teaming with other writers, the composite is never as good as those written by the primary author have been.This book rates zero stars based on the ending, one star or less based on the language and gets a gift of two stars because at least the non-profane prose showed promise.  But the series is not on my buying list.
