A review by vklover
Aftermath by Kelley Armstrong
slow-paced
3.75
1. The book moves really slowly for a mystery type book. I felt like things were just dragging.
2. The flap says Skye uncovers evidence that could clear her brothers name.... but like that portion of the book did not happen until page 272 and she did not discover it, spoiler: the police did? She was not investigating anything the entire book, she was mostly just being harassed and considering herself paranoid. The flap made it seem like she was a go getter looking to investigate the truth of the shooting but that was not at all the plot of the story until literally the last 100 pages. It's just a little misleading which is frustrating lol. Because the real point of the story was who is setting her up to look like a loon; her brothers role tends to be an after thought.
Probably wouldn't read the book again. Hoping the authors other books are better.
