jamaretto 's review for:

Providence by Caroline Kepnes
3.0

February seems to be the month of mislabelled books! This is the second ‘thriller’ I’ve picked up that doesn’t actually give me that vibe. This isn’t a badly written book and the horror junkie in me appreciated the drenching of Lovecraftian references, but Providence definitely reads more as a romance mystery than any sort of thriller. Nonetheless I really loved the characters Kepnes brought out in our three main narrators and while I was never shocked or thrilled about anything happening, I definitely found some moments I really enjoyed with it. Not bad but not what I was expecting.
