What a sloppy mess! From miss-used words, missing words, tense shifts, grammar errors, sentence structure, typos and absolutely no character development to a plot that is all over the place with loose ends dangling willy nilly, add an ending that makes a lot of presumptions, and I'm not sure what I read. But I do know that I wasted two good hours of my life struggling to make sense of a lazy writing effort. This author needs to hire a proof reader, an editor, and not make assumptions on behalf of the reader. How am I as the reader supposed to know whether someone is evil or not based on wearing a mask? Or the author could spend a day cleaning it up and then republish. This is the digital age, after all.

Huh?
Serial murders tied to a cult kept me interested as clues were discovered. And then, poof, the book just ends. Why the murders, the carving in the daughters' backs, the cult, the purpose of it all? Nothing. Abso-freaking-lutely nothing. Like turning off the TV in sudden death overtime in the seventh game of the Stanley Cup finals. Ridiculous!

Appetite for Revenge
Couldn't put this one down. Amusing and intense. I liked the imperfect three -some - private eyes and a secty, as they figured out each of their roles. A bit unbelievable, but still a good mystery. Poor grammar and editing.

Gripping
I read this book after the one that was written before it (the 0 book) and I'm glad I did. It's a thriller and one of the best I have read in a very long time. Grabbed my interest in the first pages. Ended too quickly so it makes me want more.

I loved reading both of these books, but now I'm in suspense for the next book.
Is there another book about these two that I already read? If so I would love to read it to round out the mystery!

The second time I was left hanging
Nothing worse than a story with loose ends, even if there’s more to come. Recommend this book to no one.

Good Grief!
This is just a serial-you are left midway as characters jump "off the cliff"! Frankly it is a big cheat by the author and should not be considered a book!!!

Kept you on the edge of your seat
Kept you on the edge of your seat. Short but kept your attention from beginning to the end. Looking for Book 2.

Proofreader desperately needed!
Sort of interesting. Just too many typos and left out words. Someone needs to proof read before submitting work! Thank you.

Enjoyed this book immensely. I liked all of the main characters who I am guessing will be in future books?

Sad
I was so upset that the book left Me hanging. What happened and why? The book was good and then what a disappointment.

I love the work of JSDonovan. There are a few editing issues but I allow my literary snob to take a back seat to the love truly talented story telling.

I agree with the gentleman about the words missing and mixed up but I still loved the book. Looking forward to the next book and can't wait to see what happens.

Really creepy
It was a creepy good book, but you’ll have to read the next one to find out what happens, or maybe more.

Intriguing plot of what she thoughts was true she now finds it may not be. Good narration added to this good story. Given audio for my voluntary review
