Heaven

Awesome guilty pleasure series; like watching your favorite adult animated series. Read this book first per a friend’s recommendation and if you’re just starting the series I recommend doing the same. It gives a fantastic backstories while still leaving many questions unanswered and truly draws you into the next 7 books. Although short stories, all characters are fleshed out to perfections, while still leaving room for evolution as the tale progresses. Very much enjoyed this read, only downside was the bit of predictability at the end; but somehow the writing was still shocking, heartwrenching, and grotesque.

This book read like an unnecessarily drawn out episode of Law & Order. The path of logic was predictable, I was coming to conclusions well before the characters to the point it was painful. The character relationships were stale and inauthentic. Baldacci is my favorite author and this book truly let me down. I give the rating cause I was able to finish it due to Decker being an entertaining main character & the twist at the end was a bit unexpected z
