The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen
2.0
*actual rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars*
BE WARNED!!! ALL THE SPOILERS IN THIS HERE REVIEW!!!
It was at this point I realised... the show is so much better than these books. Seriously. Even at its worst.
So. Much. Better.
This one starts off great. Rizzoli is behaving like a real cop, actually working with her coworkers (outside of the FBI guy, but that's to be expected). Isles is actually in this book and not just a footnote. She's not the quirky Maura I'm used to, and they're not best friends, but I'm just glad she actually has lines this time.
But then.
Rizzoli starts acting like Thorny McBitchface again. And hey, it's probably the trauma and the chauvinism. But like, maybe don't be a complete asshole to the people who may one day have to save your life? Just a thought?
Then, for some reason, she sleeps with FBI guy out of NOWHERE. Like, did I miss the romantic tension somewhere? These two legit hated each other 5 seconds ago. Not minutes. SECONDS.
Then, she once again gets captured by the killer. Like, she is an actual cop, right? Shouldn't she have some level of intuition? And can we talk about the deus ex machina that results in her ending up with a gun somehow while being tied up in a trunk? Don't worry; we don't need an explanation; just gloss right over that shit.
Sigh... I'm just gonna read the last one of these I own, and then I'm done. I just... can't with this.
