This book made me an impossible jerk to anyone that disturbed my precious reading time. I seriously could NOT put it down! It's like crack...book crack. Except I don't want rehab: I want more books in this series, please!
'Red Rover' is a fast paced thriller. I kept bouncing around at who I had determined to be the killer. In the end, I had figured out some details, but had no idea what I was in for with the reveal! It was quite a surprise. That's what every thriller genre reader wants: to not predict the ending. I applaud a job well done there.
I've read the other 2 books in this series. Each one very easily stands alone. If you read the series, however, you will get more of an understanding into some of Sam's behavior. She can be hard to warm up to, but the woman has been through hell. Over and over and over. I've seen where some didn't like her, but she's come a tremendous way in her personal struggles. I don't dislike her, but I don't love her in this book. She comes across as too naive in respect to her friends. I know this is critical to the book, but Sam is mostly a very tough individual that guards her private life at all costs and is careful about trusting anyone. In Red Rover, she seems like the stupid friend. She overlooked atrocious behavior that I NEVER thought Sam would put up with. I get the old friends angle, I do, but it bothered me. I was also shocked by the completely careless situations she put herself in, often turning deadly. I wanted to scream at her to stop. Granted, there were still plenty of shocks and suspense in those situations, too. It would never have deterred me from reading this excellent book, but I'll be paying extra close attention to the next one for her character toughness to be back.
I stayed riveted to this book from word one to the last word. The ending is not a cliffhanger, but it leaves the door wide open for possibilities. I wanted to write Fraser and beg her for the next in the series. Or at least to tell me what will become of the mastermind behind all the creepy crazy murders and shenanigans of Red Rover. I was a bit chilled myself until I chuckled reminding myself that it's fiction. The thought that the character could easily exist in real life is no comfort.
I liked this book very much. I'd recommend it to all lovers of thriller and mystery. There's even room for us horror fans in these books as well. It's certainly horrific who is the culprit! I give Red Rover a solid 5 stars. I'll be anxiously awaiting the next 'dose' of the series. *wink, wink*
