I’m officially DNFing this book.

I’ve gotten to page 200, which is two thirds of the way through and I still have no idea what the point is. The main character, Lucas, is completely flat. I don’t know anything about him... what he likes, what he dislikes, his personality, etc. The author didn’t include any information about anyyyyybody. It’s caused there to be no connection felt between myself and the characters.

On top of that... the random “twist” was I predictable I had to try and stop myself from laughing. I mean come on... the girl with the touch of death is linked to the murder. Shocking.

I’m just so disappointed by how flat this book ended up being. The plot was not set up. The characters had no personalities. People randomly jumped around to different settings at random. Things just didn’t flow properly. All around not a good read.

I’m not going to finish this and I would t recommend it.
