Wired Rogue by Toby Neal

Rating: WARTY!

Wired rogue? Seriously? "Technical analyst Sophie and Special Forces veteran Jake team up" Of course they do because the Spec Ops people sure as hell have zero technical analysts, and Sophie is fucking useless without a resident "Jake" (read "Jack") to control and validate her. Barf. "...to take down an insidious cult." Yeah, insidious! Because who cares about those honest, trustworthy, and truthful cults we hear about all the time?!

Paradise Crime Mysteries: Books 1-3 by Toby Neal

Rating: WARTY!

We're told this is from a USA Today bestselling author who is "persistently riveting" according to the illiterate fucks at Kirkus Reviews. Persistently riveting? Really? Is that a thing? As opposed to what? On-and-off riveting? Part-time riveting? Occasionally riveting? The story is "As bodies wash up on beaches and people vanish without a trace, Lei Texeira must track down killers who lurk in paradise." Yeah good luck with that. This is purportedly, "An unputdownable collection of reads set in Hawaii," but I'll pass. I'm really looking for something that's every other day riveting. This persistent riveting is really only half-gripping.
