Reviews

Goodreads review by Beth

The plotting in this book was decent, but Jesus Crust the dialogue was horrible. People just do NOT talk that way. And the "bad guy" had the absolute worst case of monologuing I've seen in a long time.......more

Goodreads review by Anna

The premise was interesting but the characters were one dimensional and the scenes kept jumping from one "action" to the next without really keeping with the plot. Being a first novel and considering the author's background in medicine I would say skip it.......more
