Review
I enjoyed this book, it is right up my alley and very familiar to what I'm used to. It is an entertaining suspenseful novel. I'm more used to watching crime shows and I'm getting more comfortable with this genre, this book was perfect for that. It wasn't too long or overly descriptive. The characters were interesting and I loved that there was no love story because it wasn't needed. It also felt real to me, like this could potentially happen except for the supernatural aspect of it. But for me when it's hard to get the feeling that the writing style of an author can actually capture me. What most felt real for me was that our main character Shaun was married and was working on a case and was separated from his wife and they would talk on the phone, it's so simple but I felt for their distance and it felt real to me.
This is a great debut novel in my opinion. I look forward to the author's next novel.
