So… I got some mixed feelings about this book…

There were some different things that got me annoyed while reading the first chapters. The whole time the story is written in present tenses. Nothing wrong with that, but for some reason, it bothered me…

Another thing that I wasn’t fond of, was the way the sentences were written. Too often it was ‘he does…’ followed by ‘he says’…. followed again by a ‘he thinks…’ and so on.

I’m sure there are other ways to explain what’s going on in the story than this…

But this is my personal thoughts, and I’m sure that my friends would say : ‘ There she is again, being part of the Grammar Police!’

As I had the ‘duty’ to review the story, I went for it anyway and continued reading.

I must says, sometimes too often I disliked all characters. While I got to know Dean better, all I could think about was: ‘How easily can you be fooled? And how superficial can he be?’

And Beth… well, I never liked her from the beginning.

In my opinion it was way too obvious what was going on, so I never was drawn to the story.

The further I got into the story, I somehow managed to get over my reservations.

Slowly I wanted to know how the murderer would be discovered, and how all the effects would affect Dean and his entourage. And before I knew, I finished the book, without counting how many chapters were left…

I know that each writer put his/her heart into each story they write, but this one was, sorry, not really my cup of tea…

But as this is the first of a series, maybe the next stories of Dean and Rocky will be more my thing, who knows?
