This book was whack.
Too much focus on little details that do not really progress the plot. With this in mind, the book probably could have been cut in half.
I find myself questioning a lot of the decisions the characters made.

This novel is a breath of fresh air! I don't think there is anything like it. I can't say anything else without spoiling it.

I liked it, don't let the 2stars fool you. I just felt like the book was rushed and in the process of trying to get to the end the mc seemed to behave in ways that didn't seem real. We are told she is the best in her field, she is a total arse kicker, yet she almost dies several times and it's not until she is almost beaten to death that she pulls some skills out her arse and gets on with it. Also when talking to the parents of the possessed girl, she has the wool pulled over her eyes so completely, it's hard to believe.
The supporting cast were incredibly 2 dimensional and didn't really bring a lot to the table. I'm hoping that they are a little more fleshed out in the next book. I'm not sure what James sees in Stephanie, she just seems like a self righteous bitch with no redeeming qualities. I guess having a dr in the book is handy though.
I haven't really read anything like this, and I'm really enjoying the idea, so I hope the next books get better.

This memoir details emergency room cases by a long-time doctor. I enjoy reading medical related books, and this one was very interesting, with a variety of different medical problems and interesting patients. It details the illness/procedure without being so technical that the average person can’t understand it. The book also talks about some of the medical ethics doctors must deal with and their own feelings about the cases they treat. A good read if you like medical non-fiction. 4.25/5 stars.

Some of the most succinct and thought-provoking poems I've encountered. Loved reading this one <3

This book was so hard to read, emotionally. But it is worth reading. Looks at questions of aging, race, poverty and does not look away.

Page turner - strong protagonist and developed setting that drew me in. I didn't want it to end!
