A review by therivingtonreader
Jackal by Erin E. Adams

3.5

This was a solid thriller. Some of the twists really caught me off guard and had me saying "what the fuck" out loud while I was reading. The pacing was also well done and there was no part that left me feeling bored.

I was totally expecting this to be a realistic thriller about a serial killer abducting black girls for a fucked-up ritual, but when one of the monsters turned out to be a shadow/jackal/god it did lose me a little bit. I know that's the title and there's tiny hints throughout, but for me it felt a little out of left field when the rest of the story so closely resembles real life.
