Review: Whiskey Home

Whiskey Home by Taryn Rivers
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: This is a series, so please read in order as future/past characters do make cameos.

Trigger Warnings: murder, death, mention of rape, brutal violence, assault, abduction, abuse, drug abuse, shootouts, ostracism, thievery, betrayal.

Damn, this novel fell awfully short of what I was supposedly expecting from it.

I mean the summary hadn't really convinced me it was going to be a whole lot exciting, more like contemporary romance than a perhaps romantic suspense that it was going for.

Plus the romance felt more forced than anything, seems like the characters would have had a better platonic relationship than anything.

The mystery was in literal pieces, connected to who knows what and where. I mean I had my own kind of headaches just piecing together what the book was trying to say.

The only three things going for it were: decent flow, the pacing was okay-could've accelerated a bit more, and the writing had me.

Otherwise, this was more bland and all over the place than anything I've ever known.

But still I look forward to Erick's book as it seemed to have a bit more intriguing tone to it than this one.

Whiskey Dream will be releasing March 31st, so buckle up for Erick and his mystery girl's story!

Until the next read,
