registrauss 's review for:

In the Blood by Lisa Unger
3.0

Disclaimer: As I'm finding out the more I read thriller/mystery/suspense, it's not my preferred genre so keep that in mind for this review!

The writing of this book was very inconsistent from a quality perspective. There were sentences and paragraphs that had vivid and relatable descriptions and analogies; they got some emotion from me. Then there were sentences that fell so flat l wondered if the same author wrote it. The part that really put the nail in the coffin at the end was “I did belong among the murderous and psychotic. They were my peeps.” Peeps!? Really?

The story and plot was more redeeming. After chapter 3, I had a theory of where things would go that I thought was ironclad but end of the book took a different turn. Without giving too much away, the way some of the information is revealed is meant to take you down a different path but things become clearer and more predictable the further in you get. Regardless, I was still surprised at the end!
