Trigger warning: Gun-related violence.

I really wanted to like this book, but it never quite seemed to hit its stride and I was pretty underwhelmed by the end of it. I didn't particularly like or connect with any of the characters, and I had a hard time finding anyone to root for. Sometimes that works, but here it just kind of felt one-dimensional and largely disappointing. Three stars for a decent concept, but I wish it had been better executed.
