Title: Killing Hope
Author: Keith Houghton
This will be a short review as there really isn't much to say about the book.
On a positive note the book was fast paced and had a lot of action. The author's writing style was really simple (for me not the greatest positive but for a light read it made it fun). This was my first e-book read and surprisingly enough I liked the Kindle experience.
The cons of the book by far outweighed the pros unfortunately -- I gave the book a D- in my spreadsheet. Character development was lackluster, throwing new characters into the book every few pages while developing only a few of them to make you really feel connected. Even near the end new characters were being tossed out that became pivotal to the plot despite the reader having no connection at all to them. Character development was so bad that the author failed to even give the slightest hint of a connection between the protagonist and the antagonist despite the two having a very strong familiar connection. Lastly, the ending was just disastrous in this book. Too many things happened over a span of a few pages and ultimately the author let an easy out for the antagonist, obviously so future books can be made.
This book didn't do it for me and I won't be reading another by this author.
