The Slaying Game by Faith Gardner
medium-paced
2.75
It's a nah from me. The premise was interesting, the main character is feisty, the 5 minutes into the future setting was intriguing...
But the writing wasn't great. The "banter" between characters was painful, the POVs read like "dear diary" entries and I just found myself skimming, skimming, skimming.
The writing was also very repetitive. Like okay, we get it, Leela is sober. Teddy is handsome. The stalker dude is obsessed. Way to beat a dead horse.
Lastly, the reveal of the killer was lackluster. Big meh, wish I hadn't fallen for the Stellar reviews.
