Not the best

I was excited to read this because the plot looked interesting. However, once you get into it there’s little backstory on any of the characters-to the point I couldn’t care less about who was who. It felt rushed, it felt forced, it wasn’t the best I’ve read from James Patterson. If you have no idea who the Shadow is before you read this, good luck because you’re not gonna truly understand. I sure didn’t. I feel they could’ve done more and done it better.
