This sounds like an interesting crime thriller that will keep readers guessing and wanting more. I like that it can be read as a standalone. I'm a bit confused by some things in your review, though.

The title gets the reader thrilled and curious. Ghosts are known to be harmful, drowning one can be appealing and interesting to me. Crime and horror books are a good choice for me. Thanks for the good review. :)

The plot sounds super complicated, but I am sure it is a real page-turner. Great review.

You outlined the thematic apperception on this book so we'll that I felt the book was worth a trial. Society always appreciate when such issues are discussed.

Heart bursting, Congrats.
In this crime thriller, Detective Cale Van Warring is put on a 30-day suspension and forced to see Dr. Pamela Ranula, a contract psychotherapist, after he shoots a witch doctor in his house. His Myers-Briggs result showed that he is an INTP where logic rules over emotions. He is analytic and assertive. His girlfriend, Maggie, is pregnant, and they are both aware the father may be the man who drugged, kidnapped, and raped her.

If that witch doctor – what a strange thing in this day and age – was an intruder, then van Warring was unnecessarily punished. That name, however, has a bellicose ring to it. Anyway, in spite of that intriguing aspect of the book and the intricate plot you describe, I still can’t find enthusiasm for it.

Latest Review: The Two Olive Martini by Lance T Weil

Post by Precious_Nzeakor »

I love installments that can stand on their own and still make so much reading sense. The storyline seems inviting. The world of crime and drug abuse is constantly being explored in numerous books, however, I don't think I've come across one that involves voodoo and black magic and sorts. I'll be happy to delve into its pages to learn more. Great review.

I feel like I'm reading a South Korean drama haha. I always see this kind of genre in their TV. Since it's free, I'll add this on top of my list and give this a try. Thanks

It's an easy no, for me. I'm too much of a coward for a paranormal novel.
