It sounds like it might get pretty dark.

I read the first three books and enjoyed them to some extent, but I had similar character issues. I also read the fourth book, but since that one ended up being a one star for me, I quit after that. <br /><br />Also...Dark Angel! Hehehe. I loved that show. :)Natalie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15879112865868418812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-31004884561770844232012-07-19T14:45:04.537-06:002012-07-19T14:45:04.537-06:00Even if the story is meant to be nonstop action, y...Even if the story is meant to be nonstop action, you still got to pull back a bit so readers can get to know the characters and connect with them. Bum deal that that wasn't really the case here. But I loved Dark Angel, so I still might have to check this one out.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-9103946530607479952012-07-19T14:41:29.592-06:002012-07-19T14:41:29.592-06:00I read an adult book by James Patterson with Maxim...I read an adult book by James Patterson with Maximum as teh main character - are they the same series or is the name just transferred to a new style.
