[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Snap: You Can't Keep A Secret As A Pet!" by Ace Donovan, Brock Edwards, Mickey Stone.]
"Snap: You Can't Keep A Secret As A Pet" by Ace Donovan, Brock Edwards, and Mickey Stone is a fictional thriller novel that features elements of corruption, murder, secrets, suspense, and lots more, carefully woven into a fast-paced story.
The book is set in the small town of Winston, where everybody knows everybody. Some years ago, Wendell, the not-so-well son of Mike Taylor, was accidentally murdered by his high school bully Kyle, and his girlfriend, Barbara. Kyle pushed him into the river and allowed him to drown. Before Wendell's death, his father had given him a snapping turtle he stole as a pet. Several years later, both Kyle and Barbara had decided to keep the murder a secret; they'd started a family together. Kyle now works for Helmut Schnell, a very shady businessman with a powerful network of corrupt politicians, government officials, and powerful citizens. Kyle's shady lifestyle, a mysterious creature killing both humans and animals, political corruption, missing people, and more unfold as the reader keeps reading. Will Kyle finally pay for his crimes? Will the corrupt be brought to justice? Grab a copy of this book to find out more.
One of the numerous reasons I liked the book was because of the suspense it held. The book has the very important ability to keep readers glued to the end, which is an important feature of a thriller. Another reason I enjoyed the book is the short nature of the chapters; it also helped keep the attention of the reader without them getting bored. Lastly, the most important reason I liked the book was because it perfectly portrays modern-day society. It isn't all black and white; everybody has secrets, no matter how good they appear to be, and Mike Taylor is a perfect reference.
As much as I had various reasons to like the book, I also had a few dislikes for the book. One of the weaknesses of the book is the numerous named minor characters and the poor utilization of those characters. Perfect examples are Jimmy Jack and Larry from Chapter 1, who were the first to witness the creature, and we didn't see them ever again. The numerous named characters also made it difficult for readers to keep up with the names of other characters. The editing of the book wasn't all good, as I noticed a few typographical and grammatical errors. Also, the profanity and sexual content of the book greatly limits the intended audience.
Overall, I'd rate the book 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted one star because of the dislikes I listed in the previous paragraph.
I'd recommend the book to adult readers who enjoy thrillers and mystery novels.
