Thank you to ReadersFirst for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. February's Son really didn't gel with me at all and it felt like pulling teeth just to get through it. The second in the Harry McCoy series, I don't think it works well as a standalone at all, relying too much on pre-established investment in the characters, applying too much reference to previous events without the aid of cohesive context. I wasn't thrilled by what I was reading, knew the majority of the answers too early on in the book and didn't care to find out the rest. Very few redeeming factors and a really sad review to write. Don't think going back to read the first would help boost a rating this low for me.
