Over the top police a**holery

I love Rhys as a writer and love this narrator but this book, right from the beginning, was pretty hard to take - I know it was set up to show a contrast but honestly the amount of support this kid doesn’t get compares to Harry Potter’s childhood of trauma, abuse and no mental health support at the hand of those who are supposed to be in his corner (which is apparently no one except the hero) and the cops who are over the top d**ks...this is my least favourite book by Rhys so far (and I’ve listened to almost all of them) - Cole McGinnis series was MUCH better and so was the Murder and Mayhem series. It really galls me to hear anyone, police especially, but also a sister tell someone to kill themselves or that they regret that a person didn't die (they shouldn't ever have saved them)...It's really unacceptable to have this included in a book and certainly a supervisor, or anyone overhearing an interview (aren't these things taped?) to find it acceptable conduct - the Audible.com review by L.D. said it so well - the background on why Kuro can't be working as a undercover agent anymore is ludicrous and corny and the way the LAPD is portrayed in this book, as well as the fact that they would not let a sister investigate a crime supposedly committed by a family member is not credible and adds to the overall hokeyness of this story
