Oh my goodness?????? What the f$#@??????? And a whole lot of laughing myself silly.

This is what I kept asking myself the whole way through this book (well, to where I just gave up anyhow).

To begin with I found the writing choppy. REALLY choppy. Like chunks of the story were missing or something. Like someone forgot to fill me in on what was going on here. But I persevered. Because I thought the blurb sounded really interesting. So I kept reading.

By page 48 (21%)it was starting to drive me a little batty to the point I had to make a note on my kindle (which I DO NOT do very often at all!) The corny and crazy was becoming irritating.

Supposedly some criminal gang (four members I was aware of to begin with) was overtaking a town. Bender is there to get rid of the rabble. The female lead, Stormy (who came into her inheritance at 35) runs a bookstore in said town. No- one except the kids go anymore because it is so dangerous? And Bender has come to her rescue. So the first thing that annoyed, other than the choppy storyline, was that he rescued her he'd jut leave her in dangerous situations for hours at a time? Oh well, that's unbelievable but I'll keep reading...

I also didn't understand the whole scenario about the "gang" and why Bender couldn't just pop a couple of shots in the four of them was beyond me too.

And then Stormy. She was an IDIOT! Like I mean drive me freaking nuts STUPID! and the line "She's the smartest person I've ever met but she trusts too much" had me scratching my head and barfing in my mouth.

Then Bender was worry about her losing her innocence about the bad in life and supposedly she is older than 35??? Maybe that was an error??

Then the gang. First you have gumby main characters that make no sense at all. Then there is the two gang members (I know, I said four but one gang member lops of their heads with a sword and paints some art work with their parts and then there were two) Nutter and Mick. At p53 I started to lose it. The crazy just got notched up a level to "Something smells delicious.... he stirred the pot and didn't flinch when an eyeball floated to the top" WTF????? and then on page 54 "having Nutter as a roommate had its benefits the fact he was a skilled chef was one of them". LOL. Oh and "he'd have to keep the killing sporadic so attention wasn't drawn to them". WFF/ OMG!!!!

There are a few pages of reprieve until the smartest person old mate knows is told "reflections are a great way to see what is going on without people knowing what you are doing". Is this for real?

And "Looking outside she saw how dark it had become. There was no way they were going to be able to read before it was dark." HUH?????

The old lady, palm reading, sexed up crazy bitch was just ridiculous and she had nothing to do with the storyline in any way. RANDOM!!!

The random, crazy shizznit went on and on and on. I laughed a lot. I scratched my head a lot and I swore a lot too.

This was so far out for me in so many ways! 1 star for the blurb. It was good. The rest definitely in my worst ever books.
