literaryrachael 's review for:
Heartwood
by Amity Gaige
Falls more into the category of literary fiction than mystery/thriller, but it was suspenseful enough to keep me engaged.
There are four main POVs in this book (Valerie's journal, Lt. Bev, Lena, Cody's interview with Ruben). While each POV holds up on its own, with its own character conflict and development, I found myself wishing at the end of the book that the POVs intertwined a bit more.
I most enjoyed Lena's plotline, which contained the least amount of plot but the greatest emotional weight. This one quote stuck with me:

"You can be a genius, but no matter how much you study life, it studies you back."
