Summary:
When veterinarian Jeremy Reed hears a thump one night on his front step, he expects to find an abandoned animal. What he gets is battered and broken cop Brendan Wheeler. Kidnapped from his apartment five days earlier by an unknown man, Brendan now sports a vivid tattoo across his back depicting a young woman’s death, a woman nobody knows.
Until the next morning when Jeremy discovers her dead body.
Brendan wants to find the killer. Jeremy wants Brendan to survive. And someone wants both of them to pay.
What I like in it:
Uhhh... none.
Maybe ... just maybe ... it's because of me have some high-expectation with this book. = ="
I read this book review from rainbow-reviews.com and thought 'this is soooooo interesting' but no, in reality I found it very ....... boring. I love the big plot but all characters and their dialogs are ....... boring. Since the story progress via two main characters point-of-view (but not in the <1st person point-of-view> meaning, I don't know how you call it but it's likes narrator told the story via the characters thought) it should be the advantage that we readers almost didn't know what happened. But ... it is really need to have the character say what he thought and the reader already know or can assume that thought from the narration just one sentence before that dialog?
Plus most of dialogs are, at least for me, sound ...... unnatural.
I really can't found myself have some feeling along with any characters or any situations. I just read a few paragraphs, scrolled my mouse, read more few paragraphs then scrolled my mouse, read, scrolled, read, scrolled until the story fin.
Let's say this book is just not my cup of tea. ^^"
