Mini-Review:

3.5 Stars for Narration by Andrew Tell (I can't blame him for not being excited about reading this book.)
3 Stars for Concepts
-2 Stars Sloppy Writing/Plot

I wasn't planning on writing a review for this book because I didn't take it all that seriously. In fact, for 2/3 of the story, I figured I would be nice, rate it 3 stars and forget about it. The writing is rough but there were a couple of cool ideas and character based scenes. Tell did a good job of narrating the story, and I figured I just hit a dud on my attempt to try new authors/books that I had bought on sale.

There's nothing graphic in this book but there are several dark/harsh scenes. At first, I just shrugged it off as poor gimmick writing. Later, I was fed up and just felt disgusted. Sorry, book, you had my complete & undivided attention. That gained you one star.

- Odd Narrative Changes
- Uneven Pacing
- Unnecessary Brutal Acts (Rape/Torture of Only Women) aka Gimmicky Grim-dark Hijinx
- Poorly Executed/Planned Plot/Characters/Setting

I need to stop buying audiobooks just because it "might" be a good story. Geez.
