I love crime books, but characters development is a major factor for me to decide to pick a book or not, so i really appreciate your insight on that matter. I'll probably pass on this one. Great review!

A crime book that shows potential, but the author needed an editor to help him with its development and proofreading. A case where a 2nd edition could be a vast improvement. Thank you for your honest review!

I thought this is an interesting, mystery solving related book. But your review highlighted the lacking parts. Thanks for the insight 👍👍

I really liked the premise too, but the errors and other issues will make this a frustrating read for anyone. I'll pass on this one.

The plot sounds very intriguing, but I think I'll pass on it because of the dry writing and weak characterization. Thanks for the great, thorough review!

Chicago is such a great setting for strange and mysterious happenings. Hopefully, the author will fix the rough edges of this one and make it more enjoyable to read.

I hope the changes had been affected.

Very Great review

One wonders what motivates Samantha? I share your frustration with the high number of errors. Even though your list of errors has already filled a whole page, they still jump out at you!! Thanks for your insights about the character development and the writing style.

Your description of the book's premise was very enticing. It is sad when the characters do not deserve the plot they are placed in. I think I will skip this one, even though the unexplained stuff being moved about is really interesting.
