The Shutouts by Gabrielle Korn
2.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Poorly written, simplistic, flat, unsubtle, and completely detached from reality. There were some compelling plot points, but Korn lacks the skill (and maybe understanding) to have developed them. 

With Yours for the Taking, I found the writing weak but the concept wild enough to entertain. This book has the same weaknesses but with an uninspired premise. 

Note: This is a sequel, not a companion novel. You may feel lost if you haven't read Yours for the Taking.

TW: child sexual abuse.
In the beginning, a side character mentions their experience being abused as a child which serves as one of two incidents that drive a main character’s story forward. The side character never returns and it doesn’t come up again in a meaningful way
