Okay, so I didn't read this for warm and fuzzies. My own novel, Blood Herring, involves vampires, and it just makes sense to me that if vampires did exist, human trafficking would be to many of them like factory farming to humanity. (This comes up more prominently in books 2 and 3.)
So, I picked this up for research. It was honest and gruesome, but that's not why I'm rating it so low. That's what I paid for. The editing, formatting, and structure are another story.
This looks like it was formatted poorly in Word, and several sentences are repeated far too many times too close together. It just comes across as unpolished and unedited.
This was distracting and made it very challenging to absorb the information. I'm not sure how anyone could understand the game that Mr. Royal played, I can't even remember the rules or board.
