A review by kimblefairy1989
Hold the Dark by William Giraldi
1.0
I really disliked this novel for several reasons:
1) the blurb lulls you into thinking that we're going to read a story about a man hunting down wolves that have been stealing children from a remote Alaskan village. However, after the first 30 pages, this changed into a second rate crime novel.
2) there was literally no explanation either for the boys death or the random violence that ensued after his body had been found.
3) I didn't connect with any of the characters and the story just felt flat. Despite it being a short novel, it felt very long.
Overall, 1 very begrudging star from me.
