Helpful Score: 4

I did not have very high expectations when I picked this book to read, and still I have to say I was disappointed. The characters were not particularly compelling to start; it seemed like the author chose dumping many minor or background characters unnecessarily into the story over giving readers a few well fleshed personalities. In attempting to make the female protagonist appear tough and competent, she instead comes across as unduly antagonistic, combative, and petulant. The storyline itself was poorly timed with weeks and months passing with barely a mention, and the transitions themselves (when they happened) were jarring as well as confusing.

This is not a book I would recommend, even to someone whos a fan of the paranormal genre. I genuinely had a very difficult time immersing myself in this story or relating at all with the characters. I was frankly peeved and put off by the confounding behavior of the female protagonist and wont been reading any more of the authors books if this is a demonstration of the quality of her writing.
