Man, I was really looking forward to this one and did not care for the first halfish at ALL. If it were any other author I would've given up before I got that far. It was a bad omen that it wasn't read by the author this time, but I tried to roll with it. Kismet's voice is pretty brutal. It recovers somewhat. The ending is a bit glued on.

IDK, man, I didn't think I could fail to love a book from this author but it was not working for me for way too big a percentage of this one.

TW for financial abuse, they really need to add that one here, it's come up a few times.
