This was not the gripping thriller I was hoping it would be with a title like Home Is Where the Bodies Are. It wasn’t super thrilling until like the last 20% of the book, and the mystery wasn’t at the forefront of the plot. This book does deal heavily with the topics of grief and addiction and I thought it handled those topics very well.

“Death reminds us that life isn’t infinite and that one day, our time will come too. We pause to listen to that reminder, to acknowledge it., to show the respect it demands, & then we spread out into the world like Pappi on a dying dandelion waiting on it to call us again, hoping the next call will be to gather, rather than be gathered around. Knock knock. Don’t worry. It’s not for you…this time.”
Remember the 90’s? Well, if you’re a millennial or older you probably do. This now “retro” time period is one many of us are nostalgic for; A Simpler time, a “golden era” … or maybe more of a “Seafoam” era if we’re being accurate. From the beginning I knew I would enjoy this author’s writing and Jeneva Rose did not disappoint. This book is so physically stunning, from the dust jacket to the hardcover underneath. It’s so beautiful I didn’t want to annotate it , but I couldn’t help it! There were so many quotable lines in this book that it’s insane. The author shows a lot of real world insight through her writing. During my reading, I thought of THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT MEETS THE LOVELY BONES as a descriptor, and I think that’s actually really an accurate comparison. I don’t think many walk into reading a thriller with a “light read” in mind but this one is a bit heavier than your usual thriller. This read deals with grief, loss, and its effects on families & communities. Due to this, you really feel you know the characters and root for them to solve the mystery. The writing is straight forward and fast paced, and the plotting was 👌🏻immaculate. The twist at the end I promise you will not see coming. Be sure to check triggers if you’re a sensitive reader, and especially if you’re one with recent loss in your life. If you’re looking for a fast paced read to get you out of a slump- this is it. I needed a thriller in my life & I can tell Jeneva Rose will be an auto read author for me from now on.

i liked the story itself, it was fast paced and kept me interested. my only complaint is the way some of the chapters were written, they just didn’t feel natural or like they flowed at all. i also feel like there were things brought into the story that we don’t really get closure on. overall a decent thriller.

The book was gripping and I was intent on finding out what happened, but the writing was so fluffy and slow and reused a bunch of words repeatedly and also added a weird cheesy romance and everyone was kind of saying weird platitudes all the time. Between the meat of it was so much long irrelevant detail and filler. Also Beth is one of the most unlikeable characters I’ve read for a long time, and I didn’t love any of the other ones either. The twists were predictable, but there were a few moments that my jaw dropped. Also the narrator that did Laura had such an annoying voice.
