I found the characters' extreme religious beliefs to be triggering for me. I grew up in the Christian church and I've been treated badly by people I called my church family. I tried to ignore it, but it started affected me.

  This was a fun and entertaining read for a fellow CSI fan. However, the quips and the one-liners don't read as well as it does on the TV.

Check it out if you come across a copy.

I felt lost the entire time I was reading this. It got to the point when I stopped caring/wondering about the conclusion of this story. Got to be careful about jumping in the middle of a comic story arc.

Lost the interest to read something sppoky/historical. I think this would be an interesting way to learn more about Oklahoma even if you're not into spooky stuff.
