You Always Come Back

By: Emily Smith

This book was recommended to me by a friend. July’s sister, May, was killed many years ago. She had a twin April. Their father was put in prison for the murder of May and two other girls in the town. July fled their town and went to Nashville. Now she’s back because her younger brother Deck got high and tried to jump off a bridge. While she spends time with her family in her hometown, she starts to question whether she was correct that her father was responsible for those murders many years back. As she learns new information, she has a new suspect in mind. Who really is the killer?

My friend raved about this book, but I didn’t enjoy it as much. I’m struggling with thrillers lately because I feel like they’ve become boring and too predictable. The prologue made me yawn. The first part of the book felt like there was no plot (mind you, I didn’t read the description of the book).

This book dragged on and on. There was so much unnecessary description. I was bored reading this book. There wasn’t any action until close to the end. The author also tried to pull the bait and switch. Make the reader look one way so that we are tricked. A lot of authors do this. But this author tried SO hard to make us look that way that it was so obvious that it wasn’t going to turn out that way.

If you’re interested in reading this book, you can find it here.
