MY REVIEW:
I can't say I liked this book, and I can't say I hated it. I don't want to say it was okay either, so the blasted required star rating of Amazon is going to be rough here. I have to say I didn't like it, but there was a possibility I could have liked it. I see talent glinting behind the heavy mask of typos and grammatical errors. As some one who supports indie authors and their work, I can and do try to overlook a few mistakes here and there, but, it can not be done when it interrupts the flow of the story - which it did. I finished reading the whole book because I was requested to review it and made a commitment to do so. I highly encourage the author to get someone to help them with proofreading.
That being said, I think the idea behind the story is compelling - politics, power, corruption, crime - and I could really get into it if I was given an inside to the main character. I felt like I was kept distant from Alyx. Her past kept being hinted at, and some big incident between her and another character - that she struggles with an urge to kill because of what happened. However, I read the whole book, and I am not sure what that even was. It could use a little more development - the story and the characters. I didn't really get to know them well. Even though I was interested in what was going on, in a lot of the scenes it felt disconnected, like I was running in the dark in an unfamiliar place.
Again, definitely could be a three or four star book, in my humble opinion, with a little more work.
I was given a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
