Let’s start with the narrator. When ALL characters sound like they have screamed themselves out at a smokey rock concert to be ’emotional’ it’s counterproductive. And EVERYTHING is hyper-emotional. The accents are rubbish too, It’s painful to listen to.

And on to the story. Everyone is an idiot. I mean EVERYONE and that’s just in chapter one. ONE cop being too dumb to keep details back from his comrades is already bad…but the whole precinct is that stupid. Since the ‘rational’ characters are idiots, there SHOULD be some improvement with the fantasy cast….but 1,000 years did nothing for their base IQ. It makes old Harlequin bodice rippers look like Shakespeare when morons go into exposition for so long I needed to speed up the book just to complain. There may be spicy bits, but I hate everybody so much by the end of chapter one I don’t care. skip this if you want a plot with your dirty bits. Fan fiction written by a 12-year-old on a sugar binge would be an improvement.
