Gordy is not who I remember

I really liked Gordy in the Grimm series. She is a much less appealing character in her own series. She is peevish, distracted and a bit unstable.

I cannot stand the narrator’s voice. The stories are decent.

Please pull Gordy out of her funk. It’s getting really old.

Just OK

I really wanted to like this series, but with each new book I am liking Anna less and less. Her past is becoming boring. There is too much talking and not enough mystery in this story. About half way through I almost guessed the ending perfectly with a few minor errors. Also, and this is not a spoiler as it is just a character who may become a regular, the forensic gentleman who dealt with an accident was clearly on the spectrum as described in his interactions with Anna. She was cold hearted in her dealing with him, and I could not believe Gatward would write a scene like it, but I may be missing something. Reviewers on Good Reads gave a lot of five star reviews, I am not sure I will read the next one.

Terrible narrator grisome and disgusting

Hated this from the start with slow and confusing story - waste of money - what else can I say
