Not my kind of setting or characters

This was my first book by C.J. Box, so it was an experiment.  I thought that I would like the outdoor setting, and I guess it was okay, but I just couldn't get into it.  Also, I really didn't like the game warden character much, and actually the story was more about his falcon training friend.  Although I can't fault the author's style, this series is just not my cup of tea.

I'm a fan oh the author's other 2 books that's why I gave this a try. The setting for this book is not current contrary to the other 2. It's not what I expected.

This was a DNF for me. I really wanted to like it. I am just not a "gamer" and the lingo was a little hard to follow and understand. I did like the characters but they are so different than me.  I think I may have enjoyed the book once the characters started a relationship... maybe I will try again at another date.

The writing seemed nicely written just the storyline was not for me.

Just not my cup of tea. I'm not into sci-fi or teleporting . Characters and story line were a little too young for me as I am an older reader.

I didn't enjoy this read.  I mistakenly took away from the synopsis here that it would be more like a study of youth gangs and crime culture in contemporary Britain, or at least a slice of life that would be entertaining and maybe disturbing.  Instead it's just a crime story and could really be set in almost any time and place.  Some may enjoy it, but I did not.

A story about witches with spells and such - not what I wanted and there was no indication of that in the descriptions. :(

The characters did not pull me in and I didn't particularly care if they were killed or not. You may like the book but I'm not recommending it to my reading friends. I didn't like the ending.

I really didn't like this type of story not for me. But if you are into that kind of thing and that type of writing then it is a book for you but it wasn't for me.

I feel awful giving two stars but this is just not the type of story that I enjoy  - I thought it would be.  It's a little too intense for me, the writing is hovering around 'arty' whereas I am more of a 'commercial' reader.

Harlequin romance set on a different planet....
It really is not science fiction.  If you like Harlequin romances, that's fine, but personally I don't care much for them. But just having the setting of your story be the planet "Erath" instead of "Earth"  -- and giving your protagonist a special power or two -- doesn't change the basic nature of the novel.
I gave it 2 stars for being generally well written and edited.  But I just skimmed the last few chapters to see how it ended. (Silly me - of course it doesn't end.  It's Book 1.)  I'm not going to bother with Book 2.

The book wasn't for me. I can overlook the typos and repetitive words as another reviewer mentioned. Nevertheless, it does make me question whether the author used an editor or spent time reviewing his work. We are introduced to a world and a setting that seems more like a Dungeons and Dragons adventure. Even the ending of the book seems to transition to the next gaming session. Again the book didn't resonate. Maybe it will for others.

The characters and setting are just not well developed; it had the possibility of being good, but isn't.  I got 3/4 into the book, and still wasn't hooked.

Not my kind of book, although I could see hidden meanings and myths. I think the dialogue irritated me, somewhat, as well as the story line.

I did not consider this a mystery story. I also did not feel I could identify with any of the characters; for some reason I didn't even feel empathy for Traci though I thought Marc treated her badly. I was looking for a suspenseful book, and I did not find this to be so. I think the ideas for a plot were good, just didn't enjoy it.
