THE SHADOW BOX BY: LUANNE RICE

Rating: 3 out of 5.

What to say about this one …..
     I will say, I did overall enjoy it. I thought it was messed up in all the right ways that readers like us want these books to be. 
     The shadow box thing was … interesting. Kinda felt like a forced title. I mean, it wasn’t really the thing that drove the story that much? Points for being different though. 

Okay, I’ve been waiting long enough – I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT. Who keeps cougar piss on their shelf in their garage? I mean even well prepared people outside …. please answer below ….. DO YOU KEEP COUGAR PISS IN A JAR? 

I thought that part of the story was so stupid. Sending dogs after her? And once I was finally over my fits-of-giggles the first time the author brought it up, the MC needed it again? I mean …. Honestly, it’s the one thing I think about when I think about this book because it was just so ridiculous. There is this whole story here and all I can think about is the ‘cougar piss’ HA. I don’t know even if it was cougar piss… maybe it was mountain lion and bear piss? It was a mix. Anyways – here we are spending most of a review to talk about that the author added this jar of piss in the story twice. 
     Otherwise, fine enough story. Trigger warning for those uncomfortable with jars of piss though… there are 2 mentions of it in this book.
