4.0 out of 5 stars
Comfortable But Not Stellar, March 1, 2009
This review is from: Shots Fired (Paperback)
This first book by MJ Williamz was a little difficult to truly enjoy. I actually would give it 3.5 stars, but that rounds up to 4. The book description here is pretty good, so I won't spend time rehashing the details of the story. I think the author shows promise, but didn't come out of the proverbial gate with a clear winner. The characters are not very well developed. Kyla seems to be the most three-dimensional character, but she still seems to lack something. Echo is merely brushed over and the supporting cast is shallow.
I don't mean to paint a dire picture. Even though the characters are anemic, the premise is quite good and the story is well told. The author has enough talent to pull off a comfortable final product. Hopefully, with time, she'll further develop her skills and eventually write a book I'll keep permanently on my shelf.
Bottom line - Not a stellar offering, but a solid read.
