Tried reading the first in the Devon Monk series, Magic to the Bone. Relentless crap befalls the heroine to the point where I'm just TIRED. And now I am pretty sure she's about to be accused of the murder (duh) and it really doesn't seem worth bothering with. She constantly tired, beaten down, has memory problems, no money--I mean I've read of street urchins with more hope than this gal. The best character in the book so far is probably the guy who might turn into the leading guy, but I swear, this is a case where you just wonder if someone should shoot the girl and put her out of her misery.
