Review: Be aware: episodes NOT self-contained; must buy more to get story

Frankly, I prefer a complete story when I get a book. The best series keep you in the same universe and often have at least some repeating characters, but at least give you a satisfying ending, even if it leaves you wanting more. Breaking a story up just to make readers buy the continuation is shoddy.There's some good writing here, with a minimum of copy editing errors. The premise is also wonderful (and real enough to be scary). This combination is enough that I was tempted to give another star, but there's a serious flaw: it's hard to care much about the characters, in part because we're whipped back and forth between too many of them, even while being given too little to help us really sympathize.So will I continue with later installments? Possibly, if I can borrow them or they appear in the freebies list. Will I buy them? No.
