A review by kailey_alessi
Breach of Peace by Daniel B. Greene
3.0
This is Greene’s first book-I’ve followed his YouTube channel for a while and decided to give it a read. This novella has pretty graphic gore, violence, and body horror, so be aware of that before diving in.
For a debut, I thought it was pretty solid. The writing was decent, though a bit clunky in places, as I would expect from a first-time author. There were a couple sections which felt a bit info-dumpy, but not too bad. The plot revolves around a group of inspectors investigating the murder of a noble family, and it is clear that this is the first book in a series because you will have more questions than answers by the end. Greene creates a world that gives off Victorian and Orwellian vibes, which was not what I was expecting at all, but is pretty intriguing. I will be reading the next book when it comes out, and see if the theories I have been formulating about this world come to fruition. Overall, this is a decent debut and I am curious to see where Greene takes the story from here!
