almost quit reading here. An implausible story, but I kept going to see if the book would improve. It didn't. Had quite a plot – but the main problem is the writing. The book needs another editing or two. Too many typos and lost words for a finished book. I found it hard to keep my interest because at least another rewrite or two is really needed. I could never once put myself in the story. There's very little background to the scenes to be able to imagine the happenings.

here is plenty of action but it seems disjointed, with not enough descriptive words to really get into the events.
