Back in the day, you could classify me as a bookworm. I loved reading, and I loved spending time in the library. I don’t know why that stopped, but I suppose life got in the way, and reading just wasn’t a priority. Other than the occasional self-help book, I just haven’t read that much.
Last year, I decided to change that and get back to my love of reading. I found a cute, quiet parking spot nestled in a townhouse community not far from work. I make my way over, park in the visitor’s parking spot (in the shade), eat my lunch, and read.
I’ll start my first book review with an e-book I received as a free download here:
This book was a quick read. That said, it was a tiny bit amateurish for me. This is a debut novel for Alexa Steele, and you can tell it’s a bit novice.
I felt that there was one character introduced that really didn’t mesh well. I suppose this character was added to the story to provide another possible culprit, but the character was haphazardly thrown in and not wrapped up properly, making it almost pointless.
The same character wrap-up was also missing for one of the other possible culprits, albeit, this character played a more significant role than the one mentioned above.
I also didn’t like the end of the book. I don’t understand why the lead detective (main character) was so bothered and unnerved at the very end. This case hit her hard. Why? There was no explanation. Just that she wasn’t taking it well. Did it remind her of a previous case? Is she just that hard on herself all the time? Did she feel like she failed, because of the outcome?
There were a few grammatical/spelling errors in the book.
I give this book:
I’m currently reading her second book in the series. I received this one as a free e-book as well.
