The City by S.C. Mendes
4.0
I loved this book.
This book was not what I expected, I was expecting the cop with troubled past v’s the supernatural, but it was so much more than that, it still had the troubled cop, and a secret city, but unlike most crime noir stories, the focus was not on the mystery or the case, the focus was more on the gruesome and emotional toll on the characters the sort of toll that you would expect to see in first responders, and actual police.
There is some deeply disturbing and graphic content, including torture, and sex akin to the 1995 movie ‘Seven’, but it is there for a reason which I can’t go into without spoiling the story.
There is no animal cruelty in this, so if that sort of thing bothers you this one is safe.
I’m looking forward the reading the next book ‘The Order of Eternal Sleep’
And I'd also like to say that I love this cover!
