booknerd1977 's review for:
There Should Have Been Eight
by Nalini Singh
This book was beyond disappointing. I’m having a hard time believing that NS wrote this. It’s such a dramatic deviation from her usual stuff. I absolutely love her Guild Hunter series. I even liked her first couple books of the mystery/thriller genre. This just did not feel like her work. The MC was unlikeable. The internal narrative by the MC felt very repetitive and filled with unnecessary details at times. Most of the book felt like a bad soap opera to me. Although I guessed at part of the “twist” very early on, the ending was ultimately very convoluted and incredibly far-fetched. This ending is why I’ve mostly sworn off psychological thrillers as a genre. I almost DNF’d this multiple times, and I should have. I was hesitant to do so because of the author. I was hoping it would get better, but it never did.
