Livid not up to standards

This storyline left me wondering if it was finished. I did not enjoy this book.

The plot was unengaging

The plot, to me, was weak and unsubstantial with many characters never fully fleshed out — As if this was just a light snack to the author’s usual satisfying fare.

love this book

An Intriguing Story
