rennegade 's review for:
The Killing Jar
by Nicola Monaghan
My library was going to weed this book, but the blurb on the dust jacket sounded interesting enough that I had to give it a shot.
Wow, what a bleak novel! I wasn't expecting a bright sunshiney novel, but this book was just brutal at times. I say that with love though, since I really enjoyed it. The writing was great, the characters were all fascinating, and I love the ending. I am normally pleased with depressing endings, but I really felt like Kez deserved that little bit of hope right there at the end.
I couldn't recommend this to many people I know since it is so dark, but I am glad I rescued it from being weeded and it will live on in my library.
