A SIMPLE MAN'S REVIEW:
As a short story, I figured the purpose was to set up the rest of the series, but I didn't expect the book to end on such a deliberate cliffhanger. So the question is, was the short story intriguing enough to entice me to get the next book? I don't know.
The whole story felt flat. There wasn't really any tension or conflict and the characters were all pretty unremarkable. Successful short stories narrow the focus to a few characters and a main issue. This book was too broad and spread itself too thin in terms of developing the story and characters. At the end I didn't feel invested, which is pretty much the worst feeling at the end of a book. I'd rather hate something than feel nothing.
I'd skip this one. If I decide to read the next book, and it's awesome, I'll come back and update my review to let you know it is all worth it. But until then... no.

Good read
I hope the next segment is as good as this one was. Dr Davis is a horny young dude but only in his mind.
