Melissa rated 6/10
The plot was actually really good especially for a borderline police procedural. I think the reason I didn’t like it as much as I thought I should have is because I really didn’t like any of the characters. Could have liked Ann, but the author made her look like a crazy person and didn’t give her any likeable qualities. And every single other person, I guess except Razback, were complete piles of trash human beings. So. Yea. Great story, crap character development.
