Salem's Cipher, Volume 1 by Jess Lourey

3.0

Thank you to NetGalley for a chance to read this ARC! #SalemsCipher #NetGalley

I would have to say that Jess Lourey is becoming a new favorite author of mine! I really enjoyed her book The Quarry Girls. When it came to Salem's Cipher, it fell a bit flat!

I found the plot's notion to be appealing. It seems to have the potential to be rather fascinating. It seems a little unrealistic. You may like the conspiracy idea if you can put aside your doubts and embrace it.

My issue is that although the execution was well-intentioned, it fell short. The novel had short chapters and a fast pace, but the narrative line took precedence over character development. In my opinion, there was a lack of character development. I really enjoyed the theme of the story but it was just too drawn out!
