Ties that Kill
by A.M. Saint
Special thanks to the author, publisher, & netgalley for my advanced copy!!!!
This wasn’t a bad read it kind of gave twisted mystery vibes. There were a lot of characters mentioned so you’re told the story from everyone’s POV which I didn’t really like. After awhile the timeline got kind of confusing with the back and forth between characters. Can’t say any of them are memorable except Mrs.Patel because she had this rude nonchalant attitude about her and she seemed really jealous hearted. Everything that came out of her mouth screamed envious.
What I did enjoy was the fact you didn’t know who the actual killer was until the end. All of the characters were shady in some way and held dark secrets that could ruin them if found out. So, knowing everyone’s secret made their motives to kill Jia probable and any of them could’ve been the suspect.
There were also parts of the story that were a bit slow-paced with just getting to the point. Because again there were to many characters involved. I don’t think it was necessary to hear everyone’s point of view because it made things seem a bit inconsistent once things started to be revealed some of which was irrelevant to what was happening.
I honestly kept reading because I just wanted to know who the killer was and their secrets were getting kind of juicy.
This story was M-E-S-S-Y the friendships and the family relationships just trash like no loyalty whatsoever. The secret affair between Veer and Jia, the fact Sonia thought her mom killed their grandmother, Rebecca having a thing for Veer and kissing him a week before he marries her friend Alia just MESSSSY!!! Guess you can say I stayed for the drama.
Overall, it was an okay read I wasn’t really intrigued with the writing style. But the author did well keeping things a mystery I just think the delivery could’ve been a little better.
