Reviews

[D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Somewhat repetitive storyline, and the same descriptions are often used within the same book (for example, a seagull landing and taking off was used twice, in exactly the same way.)

The professional / personal development between the characters is lacking, so their mutual arc isn’t very believable.

Overall it is easy, comfortable reading if you forgive all the shortfalls that come with pumping out books at a breakneck speed. I’m enjoying the series.

I’ve listened to books 1, 2, and 3 in two weeks. I may actually have to read a book as the next books aren’t available on audiobook! Great series. The characters are developing well.

I listened to this as an audio book. I didn't like that they chose a British narrator when the setting was in the Mid-West, USA.
The story was good though.
