kellyyoungauthor 's review for:
Canyons, Caravans, & Cadavers
by Tonya Kappes
I am done with this author. I will not waste any more time or money on her books.
This book was simply frustrating for me. There are so many spelling, grammar, and formatting mistakes, not to mention typos, that I was continually taken out of what could be an interesting story. Add to that the writing is something I would expect from a junior's high school creative writing assignment that I would give a grade of C, and I just couldn't finish it.
I have found this with every book of hers, but as the story ideas were interesting, I powered through. It's as though she couldn't be bothered with editors, proofreaders, or Beta readers or, if she did get them, they were people who never passed Grade 12 English courses.
How these books became 'best sellers' is beyond me. There are authors who work so hard to get things as good as they can, and then turn their work over to others to check, double check and triple check. This writer publishes what looks like first drafts.
No more for me!
