Book Review - Touch the Dark

I couldn't even get to page 10 of this book. The author's writing was atrocious. Long sentence after long sentence after long sentence. Paragraphs were half the page or more. It was a monotonous structure and felt like I was reading a stream of consciousness rather than an actual story.

It started off fine, with the protagonist getting an note on her computer of her own obituary. Time, place, and method of death.

Then pages went by and she's talking about her boots and Atlanta. She's going to some club near the place where the note said she'd die, and I have no clue why. Ever hear of 911?

She could even barricade herself in her office with a handgun. Anything but strap on a pair of boots that are over your knee and stroll to a club, taking in the sights of Atlanta as you go.

Dammit. I hate it when these books gets published.
