The Last Witch-Blog Tour (Review)-Mystery-Available Now

Truth right off the bat – I was left feeling confused by this book.

On the one hand it was a mystery that went skimming along and kept me guessing. That was good.

On the other, it moved so quickly that I never felt like I got too much depth from, well, any of it. The characters were interesting but fairly superficial.

I think maybe I didn’t know exactly what to expect from the book, and that is totally on me.

From the title, I was expecting more supernatural aspects. While there were a few minor ones, they seemed to be more regional (rural Ireland) rather than actual alternative. That’s not a bad thing, and I liked those parts.

It became a bit more police procedural once the bodies started appearing.

Yes, that’s bodies. Plural.

The beginning really gave no indication of what was to come. In that regard, I think it started a little slowly. I thought the whole book would be based on the opening few chapters, with David’s desire to try to better himself (and failing miserably).

But what should have been a climax actually became more like the kicking off point for the rest of the story.

That wasn’t bad, but (again) it was just unexpected.

I did like how the author kept me guessing as to who was doing what and why. I thought I had a few things figured out, but I was wrong.

I did like the setting and think that the series shows promise. I would certainly give another book by this author a try, especially if it was set in the same location. Maybe some other things will be ironed out in the second installment.
