A review by katyanaish
Murder List by Julie Garwood
1.0
This one was tough to get through. The heroine was such a spineless doormat, in the end I was hoping the villain would kill her, just to put her out of her own misery. Hell, I wish he had killed her on page 10 and ended the book, just to put me out of my misery.

Re-reading this was painful. I liked Alec, but Regan was just ... she's utterly spineless. The world - led by her oldest brother Aiden - treats her as if she is incapable, incompetent, and utterly worthless. And she never does anything to change that. It's awful. She puts up a teeny bit of token resistance late in the book, but no one takes her seriously, and she just soldiers onward. It has a ripple effect of making her despise her brothers (seriously ... I plan to skip Aiden's book later in the series, because fuck him), but the worst damage is to her. She is pathetic, flailing around and taking everyone's abuse, content to be treated as if she's inept.
It's sad, because it is an interesting plot with a potentially excellent hero, but ... her character is so terrible that it just crushes the story.
So much ugh.
