Book Review of Wicked Game (Wicked, Bk 1)

Wicked Game (Wicked, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


This could have been an ok book, but dragged on with repetition and an extremely lame conclusion. Come to think about it, the middle of it was pretty unrealistic, too, and it would need work throughout to make it into a believable story. The characters were not likable, imo, and the "heroine" turned out to be TSTL (Too Stupid To Live). Also, for some unfathomable reason, none of the characters were forthcoming with information to police regarding a murder investigation, but somehow thought it was important to get together and discuss it amongst themselves, which had no benefit whatsoever. I've read many of Lisa Jackson's books and enjoyed them so am not sure what happened here. Was it due to the influence of her sister, whom I've never read? Whatever, their editor should have told them to get real and do some rewriting so didn't read like a sixth grader plotted it.
