Broken Bones

Author: Deja Black

I read this as an uncorrected proof off of NetGalley. 

I found this story in desperate need of revision. The climax of the story felt late in development. The main character's father spoke in a manner that didn't feel natural. In fact, I found it distracting and pulled me out of the story more often than not. The initial crisis for the main character, Dan Tolliver, and it's connection to Dan's love interest, Dr. Aiden Kavanaugh, didn't feel like a strong connection. I believe more time should have been spent leading the reader into the correlation between Kavanaugh and Keith. The fact that two of the characters were Sandmen seams extraneous. The plot could have developed just as well if it was merely an romance. 

That said, these issues may have been addressed between the uncorrected proof I read and final publication. In the end, the characters the reader is suppose to like, I did like. I wouldn't discourage someone from reading this but I'm not likely to recommend it to someone.
