I’m giving this book 3 stars, but that is me being really nice. Huge Sager fan and I’m honestly baffled. This just simply isn’t that good. I think a good group of us readers are heartbroken as we really, really want to like anything Sager puts out. What’s wrong with the book? Well, the first…

As a Milwaukee native, this book hit harder than most. I think it was my favorite thing about the book… the setting. Whenever the author mentioned locations, I went ‘I know that!’. Yet, it was sad that she didn’t describe it enough. Someone living elsewhere isn’t going to know what the Fifth Ward is or Bayview or…

I’m still sitting here wondering what the heck I just read. It made a bit more sense once I read the author’s note. The note does warn you on the upcoming spoilers so I’ll tip toe around the “spoilers” as well to avoid ruining the critical twist in the book. After reading the author’s note everything makes…

A solid three star book. It was messy, written ‘okay’ and the story line was predictable. I did enjoy diving into the Sri Lanka world and a typical thriller written in a different setting that you don’t get to experience often.

To sum it all up on the first line, this book was’meh’. I liked what they tried to do here, but just didn’t have any spunk that made me ‘get into the story’. The storyline, the subject matter, the ‘thrill’ didn’t come together to make me want to read it. I honestly started dreading having…

A great opening scene that sucked me in right away. I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book but when I finished it, I wasn’t sure if I was really expecting … that. This is gory. VERY gory. Like stomach turning gory. It was hard to read after awhile and when…

I’m slowly making my way through some classics that I thought were necessary and this book popped up. I heard this was the inspiration for ‘Jurassic Park’. Am I wrong about that? Anywho – big Jurassic Park fan, so I thought… obviously I have to read the book. Overall, this book was lacking for…
