How exciting! My very first review for https://www.rachelsrandomresources.com!

Hope you all enjoy this one!

Synopsis:

He blends in. He is successful, intelligent and methodical. There are no clues. There are no leads. The only thing the FBI and local police have to go on is the method of death: two bullets to the face- gruesome and meant to send a message. But it’s difficult to understand any message coming from a dark and damaged mind. Two adopted boys, struggling in their own world, have no idea they are the next targets. Neither does their family. And neither does local law enforcement.

My review:

To be truly honest, this book was a difficult one for me…

It was the first I’ve read from this author and I was intrigued by the synopsis.

So I gave it a shot.

The first half of the book was a real struggle for me. In my modest opinion, there were just too many details and characters…

Why was it important to know that person X was wearing that kind of clothes, while person Y was wearing something different? And all this when person Z wore his favorite outfit. Just too many details that weren’t that interesting to me…

And there were also too many characters what got me all confused. Was he the guy that was married to that woman? Or was he the one who in charge of the whole operation?

It was just too much for me to keep a clear mind and not getting confused…

There were also a few references to the past, and if you haven’t read the author’s previous book (like I haven’t) it’s a bit hard to follow…

All the above was thus the reason that the first half I didn’t enjoy the reading. I had a hard time to focus and not to find an excuse to stop reading. And for me finding an excuse for not reading, is something out of the ordinary.

But it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t tell you that the second half of the book finally had my complete attention.

After I kind of had a clear idea of who who was and did, the story got me.

I wanted to figure out who the murderer was and what his/her (no spoilers here 😄) motives were.

As in the first part there was no clue in why the family was involved, the pieces of the puzzle slowly fell into place, even leaving me with the thought ‘ Is it done already? But I have still questions for which I didn’t get an answer!’

So it was hard to begin with, but then I got dragged into it and wanted to know more.

Is it enough for me to read the previous parts and read other books from this author? Well, let’s say that time will tell. I’m not discarting it totally, but hopefully if I read something else, the initial struggle won’t be there.

But for those who are already familiar with this author, I’m sure they will enjoy the story!
