Review: Fatal Shadows

Fatal Shadows by Josh Lanyon
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Okay, so that was...that.

I'm honestly not sure how to feel about it. I was obviously invested in it, because I finished it; and not just to see who the killer was. I figured that out the moment they were introduced. I did enjoy reading it. It was a cast of colorful characters; and even though I thought Adrien was an unreliable narrator for more than half of the book, I was fine with that. I enjoy unreliable narrators. But just because I enjoyed the act of reading it, that doesn't mean I liked it. Those colorful characters? Yeah, jerks and assholes. Every last one. Hell, even Adrien was annoying with his inner monologue. And don't even get me started on the part where Adrien makes the most foolish choice ever.

As for the romance, which was severely lacking, I think I'll really like Jake...eventually. He was a super jerk, closeted asshole, but I'm honestly interested to see how his character grows over the course of the series. I hope Adrien grows as well, because right now...yikes.
