K.L. Shandwick (3 KP) created a post

Customer Review
5.0 out of 5 starsDefinitely a 5 star book!

I love to read to escape life, and K.L. Shandwick pulled me from my everyday boring life with the book Ready for Flynn. Valerie meets Flynn when her brother brings him home from college for Thanksgiving, the problem is she is 15 and Flynn is 20 and they both have instant chemistry. At first it creeper me out with the age difference, but I decided to keep with it, and man I was so glad I did. It was a story line I have never read before and I mean never! What a breath of fresh air! Sometimes I read books and think I will never get that time back I spent reading books, but I couldn't put it down. I hope this helps you guys make a decision about spending whatever time you have to read this and know your time won't be wasted on the same old same old and just set back and enjoy! https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RADSIGJGWS3B4/

Book Rating
I would give it more of a 4 1/2 star rating but I decided to round up. This was a very good book. It started off fairly slow but I'm glad that I stuck with it.

I will admit that I was fairly hesitant to start reading this book. My sisters kept pressuring me to read it and so I stated that I would have it read by thanksgiving. I do not deny that while reading it I kept thinking of the series that I am in the middle of, the book I finally bought after months of waiting, and the series that I want to restart.

All in all, Tananarive Due is an amazing author. I can see why it has been compared to Anne Rice's novels. I will definitely read the rest of the series when I find the time. The characters were very complex and realistic. This book definitely makes you look inside yourself and question what you would do in the situations that the characters were placed in. Though it did start out a little slow it gradually hooked me.

Was it Murder or Suicide?
Louise Faulk’s boring Thanksgiving shift at her precinct is interrupted when she is asked to go to a death scene. A young woman has killed herself and one of her twins, or at least that’s what Louise’s fellow officers think. But Louise thinks there is more to the story. Can she find the while conducting an unofficial investigation? Or will it get her fired?

This book is definitely darker than what I normally read, so keep that in mind when you pick it up. Unfortunately, the plot wanders a bit before we reach the suspenseful and logical climax. On the other hand, I did enjoy getting to spend time with Louise and the rest of the regulars. We don’t get a nice wrap up for the ongoing storylines, but we do get some advancement on them, and there aren’t any cliffhangers. The book is set at the end of 1914, and that provided a nice backdrop to the action of the book. While not the strongest book in the series, fans will enjoy our last visit with Louise.
