Jackal by Erin E. Adams
Hey Friends,
I wanted to like this book so bad... I finally decided to pick it up and I was disappointed. Before I get to why I was disappointed, let's talk about what I enjoyed. I listed to the audiobook for this story and the narration was incredible. The writing style is alluring. It's poetic without loosing you. The way the author paints a picture in this story is sublime. The first half of this story sucked me in. I got so much laundry done while listening to the first half! I'm not sure what happened but the story began to take a turn and while it should've been very suspenseful, I was bored. The twists lacked interest and the storyline just became silly. I think there was an attempt to give the events more than one meaning but it all fell flat for me. There is so many interesting elements and layers to how this tale is told so it gives the impression that you are building towards something grand and it falters. I would totally give this author another try but this book will be a one time experience for me.
Happy Reading!
