MY REVIEW
What I Liked
- The first page. My thought after reading it: "Well... s***."
- There was an interesting family dynamic going on that I couldn't help but be drawn into.
- I liked the writing.
- The characters were all pretty good.
- I did like the dark humor.
What I didn't Like
- The big ending/reveal was soooo predictable. I figured it out when I couldn't have been more than half way done reading the book, I was actually probably only about 1/4 of the way through the book when I figured it out, I don't remember the exact point.
- I felt like Dinah was mostly all talk and no action, nothing like what the synopsis implies.
Bottom Line: I don't regret reading Premeditated and it wasn't necessarily a bad book, I just feel that the synopsis was a little misleading.
