★☆☆☆☆
So very terrible.
Awful. Just awful. Reads like a 19 year-old girl's 300 level creative writing assignment - and it wouldn't earn an A. To say the characters are flat and weak would be an understatement. The male FBI agents are portrayed as completely incompetent and useless, and the main character makes dangerous assumptions at every turn, and fails to follow any sort of generally accepted procedure. It seems the only research the author did was to watch a couple of the weaker episodes of "Criminal Minds" (like literally two), and then made them worse. Along with abysmal character development, I am not convinced this was even proofread by anyone with a reading ability beyond 3rd grade. Who publishes a book with "should of" in the first few pages?! Read on though, and you'll be greeted with missing possessives. The only positive thing I have to say about this book is that the idea for the plot was good. It did leave me a little curious about the pebbles, but $0.00 was really too much to pay for this book. I don't care enough about those pebbles to subject myself to this torture again. Really the worst book I've read years.
