Readable but pretty bad. The perspectives shift from paragraph to paragraph making for a clunky and sometimes confusing reading experience. The characters were conveyed in such a heavy handed manner, so much telling rather than showing. The bad guy is especially poorly written. Their psychopathy was so on the nose and just felt cliched. Overall this book felt juvenile in its tone and execution.
