Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris
4.0

Didn’t meet the high-expectations I have for this author.

As a major fan of B A Paris’s previous two novels, especially ‘The Breakdown’, I pre-ordered this months ago, and couldn’t wait to devour it as soon as it showed up on my kindle. I was really enjoying it but then at the 70% mark it suddenly hit me what was going on, and I was almost certain I was right, as my theory explained everything, with no loose ends. From that point on things were well and truly spoilt for me, and I struggled to finish, and found it hard to enjoy the remainder of the book. A small part of me still hoped I was wrong, but sadly I wasn’t.

But I still give it 4 stars, since if I hadn’t of guessed correctly, it would have been a 5 star read. Although I do wonder if there were too many clues, and not enough false leads, and will be curious to see how many other readers figure it out. I do like how in all her books, including this one, the character’s who deserve to, do get their comeuppance in the end. Still a fan through-and-through, and will be reading her future books, just hope they’re more like her first two, rather than this one.
