Book Reviews & Thoughts |
Goodreads Synopsis: Kara Peterson last drove away from Paige, Ohio ten years ago after reporting a rape. She thought she knew who was responsible. She thought it was over. But she doesn't know everything that happened that night. When her father passes away unexpectedly, Kara's forced to return to her hometown. Paige should be a safe little town, especially for the daughter of its favorite sheriff, but something's wrong with Kara's memories. There are times that have gone missing. In fact, there are more and more of them the longer she stays in town. Maybe it's her hometown getting to her. Or maybe it's just him. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59218489-crickets Thank you to Lee Chappel and Bleau Press for providing me with an ebook copy of Crickets for me to review. What an eerie, unputdownable book! Firstly, I am never one to judge a book by its cover, but Crickets has two cover versions and they are both gorgeous and very thoughtfully done. They instilled a sense of wonderment, anticipation and suspense in me before I even opened the book! The multiple points of view was done incredibly well, showing the events from all different perspectives. However, I did find it a bit hard to follow at the very beginning, as we hadn't learned very much about the characters yet. By about chapter 9 though I was hooked and fully invested in seeing where the story would go. There were a few wording errors that I noticed throughout the book, but not enough to detract from the story. Chappel did an outstanding job of creating a creepy vibe that ran as an undercurrent throughout most of the story, which had me doubting which characters could truly be trusted and suspecting almost everyone. So when the reveal of the rapist finally took place I wasn't totally shocked as I had already started to question and suspect almost everyone, due to the creepy, suspicious vibe created. I loved the way Chappel wrapped up the story with an empowering, overcoming the past, happily ever after scenario. I highly recommend this book for any psychological suspense lovers! 4 Stars!
