Helpful Score: 2
This book was a DNF for me. I got about halfway through (100 page rule), and then gave up.
The constant switching between the multiple personalities inside of Cadence, sometimes in mid sentence, just grew too confusing and irritating to follow. I also did not really care for any of these personalities at all, so I found that I didn't really care what happened to any of them either!
The book was also supposed to be about Cadence and her "sisters" solving a series of crimes committed by deranged serial killer. I'd gotten halfway through the book and really hadn't gotten but just the merest glimpse of the mystery, in between all of the ranting of Cadence's many personalities. There were also many rants by her strange and rather unlikable co-workers in the very odd branch of the FBI she works for called BOFFO, which hires people with mental disorders to help them solve crimes, but not very much about the actual solving of the crime.
I felt the whole book was in very poor taste. It poked fun at both people with mental disorders and at serial killers. While MJD tends to poke fun at everything, I just found this one offensive and irritating.
I'd originally gotten this book because I'd liked some of MaryJanice Davidson's other work and thought I'd try this out. All I can say after I read half of this book is what has happened to MJD? If she's going to continue to write like this, then I'm going to be skipping her books from now on.
