The Kept by James Scott
3.0
James Scott started out so strong and intense. I listened to this book on audio and Kate aural all has the perfect voice for the opening scenes. It’s dark, disturbing, and the reader/listener is left in the dark wondering what has happened and why. You’re ramped up to go on a man hunt centered around vengeance. Instead, it’s a story about forgiveness and redemption and it does t quite sit with what I was wanting.
The intensity putters our after a quarter of the way through. I kept listening waiting for the intensity to return, but it never really does. If this book had been a draft and Scott had figured out a way to keep the readers engaged, this could have been a 5 star book.
The ending is also disappointing. I thought I had missed something and rewound a few minutes to figure it out and unfortunately, it’s just an awful ending.
