Sometimes you need those characters to make the bad choices to move the plot along but at the same time they can easily fall into the TSTL category and that's no good! I loved his book The Kind Worth Killing so I would be willing to check this one out but I'm actually a bit more intrigued by his latest book. We'll see which one I end up choosing next!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-65308897332493746202017-10-14T16:38:06.476-07:002017-10-14T16:38:06.476-07:00Sam - It was both for me was well.

This sounds interesting but I know what you mean about wanting more. When I really expect a book to be spectacular and it's just good that can be very disappointing.
