Jackal
by Erin E. Adams
Special thanks to the author, randomhouse, & netgalley for my advanced copy.
This was a decent read definitely not your typical mystery/thriller. I wouldn’t say it’s a horror because it didn’t scare me much. But the gruesome scenes gave horror vibes.
The beginning definitely pulls you in but toward the second half of the novel it started to lose me. The original assumption I had of what was going to occur immediately changed the deeper I got into the story. I wasn’t really surprised once everything was revealed.
The writing was great though I just thought it was going in another direction. It started so well building up the suspense with the eerie scenes, the character development, and detailed scenarios. The vivid descriptions made it easy for me to really envision what the characters were dealing with. Almost like watching a movie. But once I was about 60-70% in things got iffy. You’ll have to read it to understand what I mean.
I loved there were so many twists because not only did this add depth to the story. But it keeps you guessing and unsure of who to trust. One minute you think this person’s the killer and the next it’s someone or something else. At one point I was sure Liz was the killer and was just having blackouts.
Overall, I enjoyed this because it takes you on a journey. You won’t be able to guess who’s behind the whole thing!!!! I recommend this for spooky season for sure.
