VERY BAD COMPANY
Emma Rosenblum
Secrets to keep, integrities to exploit, and budgets to balance before quarter end.
You know the story.
Bad people at the top, making all the decisions, bad ethics at the root, plus bad circumstances equals a VERY BAD COMPANY.
Caitlin just got a new job with an accompanying offer so big she couldn’t refuse. With her new position at Aurora, she will make three times as much as she did before, which was already a lot. There are other perks too like company travel, drinks, and dinners out, not to mention a hefty bonus, endless vacation days, and appealing company stock options.
She has no idea what her new job duties will entail but she’s Head of Events and she’s sure she’ll figure something out. We meet up with Caitlin when she’s on the way to her first company event. She’ll learn a lot on this trip and so will we.
The first night of the trip one of the employees of Aurora goes missing. And suddenly Caitlin’s big salary doesn’t look big enough for all the drama she will have to go through.
VERY BAD COMPANY is not very good. It’s not very bad either. It’s somewhere in the middle which just feels like a waste of time. There are two characters too many and every character that made it to the pages was meagerly constructed and seemed to fill a stereotypical hole rather than contribute to the story in a meaningful way.
You know going in these are very bad people. So, it didn’t alarm me when I didn’t feel warm and fuzzy towards any of the characters. The problem is I won’t remember them either.
VERY BAD COMPANY is set to publish on May 14, 2024.
