Like Lions, by Brian Panowich

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.0

I’m right in the middle with this one, I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. Some parts were incredibly interesting and at times I was thoroughly enjoying this novel and convinced it would be a five star read because there’s nothing I enjoy more than a good crime fiction with some family drama thrown in. Sometimes with crime fiction you see the same kind of storyline repeated too often but this story was definitely an original idea that I’ve never seen before so I really did love that and the first book was excellent. But it just lacked the pull that the first book had on me, it was definitely a case of second book syndrome. I liked where the first book ended and I didn’t really see the necessity of this one quite honestly. So while it was still a good book it didn’t fully command my attention and interest like the first one did.
