No redeeming characters

Revisado: 10-30-24

I had to finish this just to see if it got any better. It didn’t. One dimensional characters with very few redeeming qualities. By the end I didn’t care what happened to any of them.

Just boring and predictable

Revisado: 07-26-24

The characters were a little one dimensional, I could predict the “twist” halfway through. Kind struggle to finish

Very disappointed

Revisado: 10-25-22

I'm always looking forward to the next SK book, but this was a huge letdown. I had to skip through a lot of it because it was so BORING. I think most of the writing in this book was word vomit, it could have easily been a novella or even a short story and probably would have been much better in that form.

Wow, and not in a good way

Revisado: 01-04-21

First, I love Sigler's previous books, they are usually engaging, original and really just fun to listen to. This one though, just seems like a throwaway. The dialog was cliche, tired, and frankly annoying. The story was okay, no surprises, but I found most of the characters to be one dimensional and the length to be way too long.

No idea what this story was about

Revisado: 01-05-16

Maybe this was due to the narration, which had an odd cadence throughout, but I could not keep track of the story. There were too many plotlines, and really a silly premise. I usually will buy a Rollins book straight away (unless he pairs with Rebecca Cantrell when it becomes more romance than action), but maybe will think twice next one.

OMG Seriously?

Revisado: 12-11-15

True love, soul mate...blah blah blah. I usually enjoy Coben's novel, but this, frankly, is a load of tripe and overly dramatic, both the text and the narration. Professor at a minor college can't get over his TRUE LOVE leaving him so he uncovers conspiracy. Interesting premise but not executed very well. I'm not a quitter so forced myself to finish the book, was a tough go. The only redeeming quality was that I bought the book on sale.

Another creepy wonderful Rickman story

Revisado: 10-14-15

I love Phil Rickman stories, they are viscerally unnerving, immersive and wonderful. He has quite a knack of keeping secrets that he exposes throughout the story, not just at the end where you would expect them. The narration is great, my only complaint being that I wish the speaker would pause a bit when scenes change, as I found it a little hard to follow. Definitely would recommend this book to any horror fan.

Hmm...

Revisado: 07-07-15

The premise of the story was quite good, but given the clichéd dialogue and the one dimensional characters it was a struggle getting thru this story. I think the author tried to make the main character a conflicted warrior, but I found him a bit weak and whiny. Yes, there were some twists at the end, but not really believable. Bottom line, glad I bought this in a book sale and didn't waste a credit on it.

Big disappointment

Revisado: 05-03-15

I really hate to write this cause I really love BL's stories, but this is really juvenile...are these storie from before he was actually a writer? They are simple and kind of dumb, really, no other words to describe.
