Harlow Drake has a lot of potential as a writer. The story idea for Life in Death was really interesting and I was completely hooked in the beginning. Unfortunately, the plot and the characters ended up undeveloped leaving me with a lot of questions at the end.At only 88 pages this is short enough to be read in one sitting - it took me less than two hours. It really need to be longer though to fully develop the story. I felt that I only got the highlights or an outline because Drake tried to fit so many plot lines, events, and twists into such a short book.The characters also lacked depth. I didn't get to know any of them well so I didn't really care about them at the end.If Drake went back and filled in the plot and and characters to tie things together this could be a 4 star book.I received a copy of this eBook as part of a weekend read-a-long. All opinions presented in this review are my own.
