buckupcamper 's review for:

On a Quiet Street by Seraphina Nova Glass
1.5
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The writing is mediocre and pedestrian. It's trying to be a salacious Desperate Housewives tale but the characters are so aggravating and obnoxious. None of them are likable in the slightest. Or believable as fully-developed characters.
One personal pet peeve of mine is when writers use "if I'm being honest." I'll let once slide--maybe twice if the overall is good--but it is used here to an annoying degree. 
Also, what was the thought-process behind the accent choices by the narrator? Made absolute no sense.
