Initially I got this book because it was a Paragraph Line book, and I’ve liked every PL book I’ve ever read. I’m not big on cop stories, so I was annoyed with myself for not reading the synopsis before choosing it. It got real weird real fast, though, and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better. . . snake handling preacher. It’s a great book to take your time with and savor.

Paragraph Line Books comes though again.

I got this book from Story Cartel for an honest review.

I thought it was going to be a different kind of book so was somewhat disappointed when I got halfway through it and found it turned into a paranormal kind of story. That is not my usual kind of book. Although it was very well written and I did finish it, it was just not what I thought it was going to be. The author does have a very good imagination and did a good job of writing this book. I would have read it much faster if it had not changed so much. I love a good thriller/suspense book but am just not into the paranormal books.

It's not that it was not a book that others would not love to read. I know of several that will love it from start to finnish. It just was not my kind of story. If it had hinted of the change coming maybe I would have liked it better, or choose another book. I'm not saying it was a bad book though. It just was hard for me to keep reading as fast once I got around the halfway point where it took off in a different direction.

I love books set in the Appalachians but this was just too far out there for my personal taste. I gave it 3 stars because of the change in the genre. But again I know others will really love it much more than I did.
