I actually read the entire book. It was a struggle. It got fairly decent reviews so I kept thinking it would get better. There are some typos but not so many that you want to throw your kindle across the room. Most of them are things running a simple grammar check would have caught.That being said, some reviews said they were confused because they didn't know what a QR code is tho they are pretty much everywhere so I find it hard to believe you don't at least know what one is. I don't have an iphone or fancy phone and have never used a QR code but given that it's technology in the world that's right in your face... how much of a shut in do you have to be to realize what one is? Also... he hardly ever sends one to anyone and ultimately stops doing it altogether. Huh? Why is it called the QR Code Killer then? Oh maybe it's more of the backstory you barely get any of.**SPOILER ALERT**Onto the writing... my 17 year old could have written a better novel than this one. She tried to throw too many things in there that she did not quite understand how to work together.Hard-ass yet Barbie-like cop who has a real scary nick name except deep down she's really a girly girl looking for loveThe love of her life being killed by a super villain who, interestingly enough, we never really hear about committing specific crimes except those that are very vaguely mentioned and at the events where they very nearly capture him... and he's still not even doing anything illegal at those timesA "twist" of who the super villain is that you see coming a MILE away but apparently none of these brilliant officers see it... (gee... why did the naked pictures the super villain, named Zeus of all things, took of her stop happening right around the time her boyfriend died? Golly, that's a toughie! And apparently cops never realize it's another named spelled backwards *facepalm*) and I'd like to know how he could be 2 people at the same time as he appears to be in the opening of the bookA pathetic romance with a farmer who you think for a minute is going to have an interesting past... but doesn't. He's just a nice super farm boy.The end tidily wrapped up and they all lived happily ever after.Yeah... this was a bad one. MOSTLY readable but bad.
