Some responses from some of the characters were not realistic… for example, the teen age girl whose father was murdered execution style and mother kidnapped and later murdered quickly starts calling two people she hardly knows “mom” and “dad”… a lot of trauma just occurred for this young girl and acting like her parents are easily replaceable took away from the story. (A few characters had similar issues). Also, all the stereotyping showed a lack of depth with the story. It seemed like the author lacked life experience and an understanding of human behavior/psychology.
