Val, thank you for the time you take to look for freebies. And I agree with everyone. Post whatever you like/are interested in. We will take our pick.

I have finished reading .
This is the first time I am reading this series and the first half of the book was really tough. A lot of characters and a lot of things going on. When I got the hang of it whos-who (especially in police department) and whats-what it got better.
In short: first book didn't exactly blow my mind, but I see potential for it to be a very good uf series. I will definitely read more.
Until next month... ;)

This is not a pretty good mystery. Main characters do not remember anything and try to peace together their past. Just be prepared for a big cliffhanger in the end.
