Samuel Muggington

I was initially interested in the plot, sounded like the books I usually love to read (fast paced, action with a bit of intrigue and medical thrill aspects thrown in). However this story was really just a shell, and a poorly written one.
• The dialogue felt like it was written for comic books, very predictable and sophomoric.
• The characters were very one dimensional; the author obviously tried to put some thought into them, but it felt off, like he wasn't sure how people typically interact. His use of slang read like a non-native speaker trying out idioms because they sound good together.
• The plot quickly devolved into an unbelievable mess where nothing was left for the reader to figure out, or think about it was all “shown”
• Spoiler alert: while I know that the book is potentially part of a series, the ending was horrible and felt rushed, like the author had to add words to complete a project.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book free from Netgalley for review consideration, but to sum up my feelings, the whole concept needs to be drastically improved before I could consider recommending this to others.
