The potential is definitely there I just needed more of a connection with the main characters. This is a very violent but exciting read that just did not come all together for me. When the whole book is about how someone could die at any minute, not caring about the characters does not really work. In between all this violence is a romance, but I found myself just not really caring about it. What stopped me from really enjoying the book was I could not connect with the characters. I love Ally Vali’s Cain Casey mobster series and Ashley Bartlett Cash Braddock series about a drug dealer. Again having a main character this is a criminal didn’t bother me. One is a police officer and the other is a drug dealer. My point is it wasn’t the violence that bothered me, but be prepared if you are considering reading this. I can’t even tell you the number of times I watched that and the Kill Bill movies. Heck Pulp Fiction was one of my mother’s favorite movies. I don’t mind that kind of pumped up explicit violence. Joc mentioned in her review that it felt almost Quentin Tarantino-esque, and I have to agree with her. We’re talking blood everywhere, knife wounds, gun shots, brain matter leaking out of crack skulls kind of violence.

I think the author Disney has potential but I have to stay with the just okay rating. Some parts were very exciting, especially the climax of the book, but I could not shake this feeling that the book was not working for me like it should. The actual story wasn’t bad, but I found I just could not connect to the book.
