Splinter in the Blood by Ashley Dyer

2.0

Won this book on Goodreads. I liked Ruth Lake better than Greg Carver. I think this is mostly because Lake doesn’t always follow the rules. I mostly felt annoyed with Carver. At least I felt something for the character. I have read books where I didn’t form any opinions about the characters. While I didn’t expect who the Thorn killer was, I felt like neither did the author until she wrote it. I felt the same way about Lake shooting Carver until all of sudden, Lake didn’t. It was like the author had the storyline figured out and changed their mind in the middle of the novel and decided to go in a different direction but didn’t want to change what was already written. There were some parts of the novel that where my mind started to wander. Will not be reading anymore in the series. I had trouble in deciding if I should give the book 2 or 3 stars. After writing some of the review, I am going with 2 stars based on what I said above and I’ve read better books this year.
