Customer Reviews
Dead Girl Found
Enjoyed the book up to a point then it just went downhill for me, not a series I will continue with. Thought it went overboard in graphic and language in a manner that detracted from the story.
Harsh ,depressing and tedious
Harsh and tedious pretty much sums it up. Much of it is revolting and painful to read , but somehow still mostly boring. So much of it just slogs on without revealing anything that seems relevant. Also, I really don’t understand why the author wanted to waste the readers time by retelling the story again in the second half of the book. What a truly depressing read. If we are going to be forced to suffer through this book, there really ought to be some small spark of hope or redemption at the end to help us to recover. I kept hoping it would get better if I just kept reading….but nope.
