The Dead Key by D.M. Pulley

2.0

Interesting premise, I was invested enough in the story to keep going until the end but parts were doled out too slowly and the ultimate payoff was disappointing. Some of my displeasure was a personal prejudice, I found Iris irritating and her slacker attitude was off putting. Most businesses when you constantly show up late that early in the job will just fire you. The plot of what was happening at the bank was doled out a little too slowly and I felt like the smart kid waiting for the rest of the class to catch up. The ending was just not satisfying at all, if you like real resolution where the bad guys get what is coming to them and you know for sure what the heck happened to the good guy instead of a vague suggestion of if they "made it out alive" or not just walk away from this book now. I found both the vague nature of the ending and the direction it took to be a let down.
