Note: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Although I felt that this story had an enjoyable plot and a cast of engaging characters, I had a lot of problems reading it. Perhaps I'm a bit anal, but there was either minimal editing or it was done rather poorly.I can be a bit of a grammar nazi at times. I try hard to not judge books based on this. I do understand that mistakes happen, mostly in the heat of writing an intense scene. This book had too many errors to ignore, unfortunately. The paragraphs were extremely bulky, mostly due to the fact that new paragraphs were not made for each change of speaker. This was very distracting. It made it feel more like reading a "he said, she said" kind of story, instead of truly engaging dialogue. Another problem with the dialogue is the capitalization. Even if the dialogue begins in the middle of a sentence the first word of the dialogue should be capitalized (Ex: He said, "She said." not He said, "she said.")I feel that if this book was properly edited and rereleased it would be a great read.
