The 320 page book, not a 6 book book series, by the way, has promise, but oh, the execution!
The characters are engaging, the premise is intriguing, but the similes are just tragic. At first I thought a brave wheelchair was a brand name, but other word pictures intruding into the dialogue killed that idea. Hayley Summers, as an author, needs a good editor, or at least excellent beta readers, plural, to tell her not to make up word similes that are so very wrong that they become supremely irritating. I would be prepared to help her fix this because I think she has some real promise.
