Spoiler:

Although I did recognize Nathan Fillion on the cover I don't watch Castle and didn't realize when starting this that these are written as tie-ins for the show and pretend to be by the character from the Castle TV show. Maybe this would be more amusing/interesting if I was interested in the show. I seriously doubt I will continue after this first installment and probably wouldn't finish this one if it wasn't so short.

First thoughts are that it could be and interesting storyline but the cliches and horrible names are a huge distraction. Some examples of the bad names/cliches: the lead FBI agent is "April Showers", the fiance of one guy is "Samantha Toppers" and is described multiple times as "top-heavy", Derrick Storm is trying to get April into bed before even meeting her, etc.

Ya, I wish I had looked into the author a little more before starting that (stupid me for seeing Nathon Fillion's picture and not digging deeper). It wasn't terrible but ... well, see the spoiler I quoted. If you enjoy the show these could be interesting but I am going to skip these.

Next up: Hour Game by David Baldacci, maybe this will be a better fit.
