Review: Love K.A. Mitchell and this series just not this one

I was so excited to see another Bad in Baltimore out for sale..I really liked the rest of the series and this was an auto purchase.It was a story that was trying too hard to fit all the things that gay runaways face. I think it raised worthwhile concerns about what faces these teens and young adults who are homeless on the streets of our cities and towns.But I what I expected was a coherent story line which it seemed to be until Silver's arrest. I find that it went down hill from there. Certainly, from the perspective of bringing awareness to what these youth face, it could have been better expressed using the characters. Instead the book seems like a series of events and solilquis from Silver. Add in a new character who is Latino who's "accent" is spelled out in the dialogue--the book was too disjointed and boring to go past 87%. I just did not care by then. Besides I kept putting down and starting other books.I still have K. A. Mitchell on my auto purchase list. I still enjoy re-reading her books. Just not Bad Influence.
