Kaylie is a loner who wishes she had just one friend, except two pages later, her friend bounces in and invites her to a party. She met this friend when the girl defended nerdy, bookish Kaylie from a frat guy who got handsy. Oh wait, four pages later, Kaylie pops on her skank outfit and goes off to her bartending job where as she says "she needs no one to protect her because she learned to take care of herself a long time ago." This kind of inconsistency had me gritting my teeth before we even reached the following epic stupidity.
Throughout the first chapter, Kaylie repeatedly talks about this guy in the library who sits near her and stares at her in a creepy, stalker way. Following her late shift at the bar, she refuses the bouncer's offer to walk her to her car and heads out to the deserted parking lot...where she finds the creeper waiting by her car. He says "you needs to come with me." She's all yeah right and makes some witty banter. He says "no really, you know that blond girl brutally murdered two nights ago near here...that should have been you." She says, hmmmm, tell me more. DO WHAT? A girl your age is murdered in the streets near the bar you work at and you wander out to a dark parking lot alone? When you see your creepy stalker leaning against your car, you do not go back in or call the cops, you trade flirty quips with him? When he mentions you should be the dead blond girl, you do not run screaming? Or kick him in the coconuts? Nope, you hang out and ask him to explain. I realize there are people this stupid, but I don't want to read about them. I should have stopped at the clumsy prologue. The blurb sounded like she would be tough, smart and haunted by her past. I have no idea what she is beyond stupid. Maybe shy, bookish nerd by day, tough, sexy bartender at night, and clueless all the time. (Hey, that actually sounds readable, this wasn't,)
