Review: Amateur effort
Rating: 2 out of 5

I'm shocked at how many reviewers labeled this a 5-star read. I am a high-volume fiction reader (about 25 a month) with a weakness for paranormal romance/thrillers. This book was simply poorly written & badly executed. The world-building was minimal & almost cartoonish, not remotely credible. The heroine is not especially likeable, & has an oddly childish manner. There were problems with consistency & I never did figure out what the author intended for the "spark" weapon to be. This story has some potential but not without a lot more detail & much better writing. Also, what's up with the girl on the cover looking like she's 14?
