I expected more!
I wondered reading this if it was the writer's first book. The amount of misspellings and grammar mistakes were a bit much. Getting to the plot.... It was okay. Nothing you wouldn't expect from a mafia type story, and it left you wondering in the end as well. So Parker put some Italian phrases in the book, and I wonder if he thought that would make it a great story? At one point Angela was kidnapped by her own police dept who then just dropped her off on a sidewalk. There were no injuries to her, so what mafia boss in training would settle for her being just fine? No questions really asked about her experience. I mean that would make a criminal organization at least wonder why...but, anyway, my disappointment aside, some people need to make up their own minds about books, which I respect completely.

Ridiculous. The grammar was so horrific that I will never purchase a book written y.
I do not recommend this book to anyone . Ever! This writer skipped first grade. If he claims to have a college degree, the
university should lose it’s accreditation immediately.
Or maybe the degree was purchased on the internet.
The story was of interest.. but the grammar and inability to spell overwhelms the reader

This book was written by someone who was living in a dream world of maybe 12 years old.It was not a total waste of time but very close.I don't know who i would recommend this book to.

I can usually ignore obvious typos, however, this book drove me mad as it was peppered with
grammatical and spelling errors, additional words which made no sense and obviously some words were omitted. I have previously read some Jack Parker books but I don't believe I'll try any more.

Amateurish
Regrets to the author. I have never written and published a book, so the author is way ahead of me. However, I read a lot. This book has weak plot, unbelievable characters and is so poorly written it was giving me a headache. I could not complete.

Sorry Jack Parker...
Wow...ever hear of a proof reader? This book is riddled with errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation. How can an undercover officer just stop being a cop? Truly a disappointing book.

WTF? Nine pages in and so many errors. Could not go further
I refuse to read a book, any book, with such simple, and stupid mistakes and errors. Nine pages in and I gave up.
Thank Buddha it was free on Unlimited.

Not enthralling.
Very weak story and poorly written. Could really have used an editor. Will never read another book by this writer.

So many typos, missing words, as well as misusing your for you're. Someone did a very poor job proofreading this book and I found it distracting.

So many typographical errors.
What a careless job editing this book. It was frustrating and detracted from the story. I won’t read any more of your books.

Good fast read
Why would a young cop put her life on the line ? She really thinks she's doing the right thing but stayed tuned nothing is as it seems
