The Murder Complex was one of my most anticipated dystopians this year. Any plot with the word "assassin" has me hooked. Also, knowing that the main protagonist was basically a trained killer just made it all the more sweet. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy The Murder Complex as much as I hoped but I do have to point out that it was a very fast read and there are some things that I enjoyed. 
 I liked the dual POV, and how the chapters aren't long. Trust me when I say that long chapters kill me. If I find out a book is told with short chapters, I would most likely pick it up over a book with long ones. I liked Meadow well enough but I truly didn't understand her family and the dynamics going on there. She has a sister, yes, a brother, yes, and a dad, yes. That is all.. I wished I saw more honest brotherly and sisterly love.. I can't put my finger on it but I just felt it was rushed over.. I wish we had more time exploring their family relationship. As for Zephyr, I have to say that I liked his chapters a bit more than Meadow's. I felt I got a bit more emotional depth from him than her. However what I didn't like and what truly put me off this book was the insta love. I know some people like it.. but I don't. If I knew this book had it, I honestly wouldn't have picked it up because I know I wouldn't end up enjoying it. Insta-love is my worst type of plot and romance line I could find in a book. 
 The dystopian world was interesting. I just didn't understand some things and they didn't add up. I know this is only the first book in the series and my questions will probably get answered later.. I just wish I was given a bit more. Oh and the killing scenes? they were exactly the same. Slash a throat. blood. break a neck. dead. stab in the heart. blood and dead. It was just the same action/killing scenes over and over again, I honestly grew bored of them. I got into it because of assassins and trained killers.. expecting epic action and killing scenes.. but I didn't get that. Still, I obviously gave The Murder Complex 3 stars because while I had so many issues with it.. I still enjoyed it. Cummings' writing flows smoothly and I find myself reading 50 pages before taking a breather. I would recommend it for fans of light dystopian books as well as readers who read middle grade because this book felt like it wasn't for my age. I will definitely be checking out any future books by Lindsay Cummings that aren't middle grade or from this series since both just aren't for me.
