Review: This will be the last of these books I read.

The more I read of the Veronica Sloan series the less I like Sloan and the whole concept. It seems to me that it's another step in conditioning us to not expect or honor privacy. Did any of the people who had the implant that records everything the host sees every consider the privacy rights of others? And the man Sloan considers a good man and a genius, did he ever consider that privacy is a basic need for good mental health? I don't like Veronica Sloan - I find nothing admirable about her. She cares more about catching "her man" than she does about freedom and liberty for the masses. Given the recent revelations about the abuses of the NSA, these books feel like propaganda to make spying and invasion of privacy acceptable.In addition to not liking the supposed heroine or the concept behind the storyline, the books are unnecessarily gory. Seriously, gory.In no way are these books comparable to JD Robb's Death Series. Her characters have depth and aren't one dimensional like Kelly's characters. Kelly's books can't hold a candle to JD Robb's books.It really wouldn't hurt for the author to hire a proofreader....the books are rife with typos and grammatical errors."Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."Benjamin Franklin,
