Irreparable Harm by Melissa F. Miller
3.0
There were several points in this book that I thought to myself, "Seriously, did she just do that? Why didn't she do xyz?!" In no way shape or form am I an expert on law or lawyers or such, but I've read quite a few crime dramas (not necessarily a lot) in my day and never once questioned the motives or reasoning behind why a character did something.
For example, not going straight to the courthouse guards when you're actually in a court house and have been attacked?! She didn't have any reason not to call the police. And it might have actually created a much more interesting ending if the villains were getting more desperate instead of thinking that everything was okay.
She tried to write backstories for the villain(s) that I just didn't find credible either. But after I read through the spots that made my teeth itch and the points where I wanted to throw the book, it was a decent read. Nothing to write home about but certainly not the worst thing I've picked up recently.
