It was quite difficult for me to get through this book; for several reasons, but I am just going to touch base with the main ones.
First, the phrasing and grammar were quite poor. Not just spelling errors, but also a lot of word confusion.
Second, there are several times when it is as if the author forgot that she was writing in first-person and would say him or he in reference to the main character, the one who was the one telling the story.
Third, and this one might be silly, but it was still bothersome. Someone was shot, at fairly close range, with a shotgun and it was described as a small hole in the dead guy's head. Now I know that not everyone has experience with guns and how they work. Nevertheless, when so much of your story involves shooting you should really do your research. In the situation, the person that was shot with a shotgun would have suffered catastrophic damage to their head. He would not be recognizable.
Fourth, this is a very predictable book. Not a single twist was something new and unexpected. I considered putting the book down several times and did not in hopes that it would get better. It did not and I guessed all the 'surprises' right to the end.
It is just meh. I will not read it again and honestly wish I had not read it in the first place. To each their own, though.
