dame_samara 's review for:
The Drowning Kind
by Jennifer McMahon
I know that Mystery/Thriller books are often hit or miss for me but I was lured in by the mystery posed, the strained sisterly relationship, and tangential story lines.
This book kept me engaged through the entirety of this book, at no point did I not want to pick it up again and continue this story. But I also at no point really felt anything in regards to this story.
While the concept was interesting, and even the execution was there. The characters are what I think was honestly the part that fell short. The present day characters ended up feeling very hollow, and I don't feel like there was really any growth of character in Jax. I'm still struggling to wrap my head around how I got to the ending we did.
If you want something that is intriguing and a bit spooky but isn't super deep, This is for you.
Jax's spiral in the last fourth of the book who was weird at best, concerning at worse.
Especially since no one around her seems to notice this change, and she falls into an episode of Psychosis. Especially in comparison to the Jax who had shown up a week earlier.
This whole happenstance, and subsequent death just ended up leaving a gross taste in my mouth.
