A review by usbsticky
Eyes of the Innocent by Brad Parks

2.0

Despite several caveats, I liked Carter Ross #1 and gave it 4 stars so I tried Carter Ross #2 but I just couldn't handle the writing so I dnf'd it. The issues I had in book #1 were even worse in #2. The issues being that everything was just too cute, every single character was just too cliché, a lot of the one-liners and even conversations were just too glib. The whole thing was just overly sweet and too treacly.

Spoilers: I mean, you have your Sweet Thang Southern intern, your gay sharp dressing intern, outside tough editor, friendly tough on the outside, sugar on the inside hoodlum. Basically everyone was a walking talking cliché. I dnf'd at 45%, that was all I could stomach.
