Review: I want back the time I spent reading this unsatisfying, gory book
Rating: 2 out of 5

Yes, it's well written (tho plagued with typos). And yes, it's exciting.  But the plot is terribly convoluted, and the author introduces tons of twists and turns that never get resolved. When I finished the book I was actually MAD at how unsatisfying the ending was, as well as all the unanswered questions that remained in my mind. I guess she's setting herself up for the next book in the series; but there's a big difference between a cliffhanger and total confusion.It was really super gory, with graphic, oozing descriptions of eleven-teen different ways to torture flesh.  I suppose that's a positive aspect of this book if you like that sort of thing, but I sure don't - blech!I've read all this book's other reviews, and it sure looks to me like the first half - the 5-star reviews - are fakes that the author got her friends to submit; and the real reviews are the ones from my fellow 2- and 3-star reviewers. I say that because many of the things the 5-star reviews said about this book just aren't true, whereas the low reviews point out the legitimate flaws.I advise this author to go back to the drawing board and significantly revise this book.  It's a good start, especially for a first-time novel, but needs a LOT of work.
