Shadow Valley
by Nik Xandir Wolf
Rating: 4
Wow, this book had me from the first chapter! Reading this was like playing a movie in my head. I’ve always been a fan of action movies and to be honest, I don’t read enough action type crime thrillers. The author did a fantastic job with writing descriptions and setting up the scenes. I never once felt confused and could easily follow the action. The reader can tell the author did their research in how the weapons along with other certain aspects were described and explained. This made it easier to picture what was going on and it made the story seem more believable even if it was over the top at points. Honestly, I prefer my crime thrillers to be over the top because it makes for a more enjoyable experience all around.
One thing that can make or break a story for me is the characters. Luckily, I immediately took to Heath’s character. The first chapter with his parents broke my heart and following Heath when he was older continued to break it. I found it interesting that he became a lot like his dad even though his dad didn't raise him. The author did a great job of writing complex characters that were not your typical heroes. Heath obviously has made a lot of mistakes and bad choices in his life but he did what he felt he had to do in order to survive and help those he loves. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. It was well written, kept me engaged, and had me on the edge of my seat not knowing what would happen to these characters. Get ready for a twisty read that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
