No Rest for the Wicked by Rachel Louise Adams
3.0


No Rest for the Wicked is a paint-by-numbers thriller that hits all the familiar story beats we’ve come to expect, but ends on a strong, emotional high note! Rachel Louise Adams doesn’t reinvent the wheel with No Rest for the Wicked, in fact I found almost every major plot point to be predictable, but the story was still interesting and Dolores, our main character, was compelling. The characters, to me, are the strongest part of the novel - they are all complex, and very rarely is someone exactly what they seem when they were first introduced.

No Rest for the Wicked was slow to get going, but about 50-60% through the action begins to really pick up and it was hard to put down! As generic as the plot felt at times, the story ends on a really beautiful note that plays to the strength of Adams’ character writing and will definitely stay with me for a while.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!
