Now onto my review:

I wasn’t really sure what to think of this book in the first couple of chapters. To be very honest, the book was really slow the first couple of chapters and overly descriptive (or so I thought). I struggled through the first couple of chapters because of above issues. But get past those first few chapters and the book is a great read!!!

I really enjoyed the story line. A returning serial killer comes back, a cop suddenly remembers his past life, tries to find his lost love, develops psychic premonition about where criminals are and how all 3 are melded together make a very interesting story. Throw in some very creepy stanzas from the Oscar Wilde poem “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” and the story becomes chilling in places.

From the minute we meet Sean Jamison, the pace of the book picked up greatly. When all of his past lives come back, he becomes obsessed with finding his long-lost soul mate. When he does find her, he is devastated that she doesn’t remember him or their past lives together. But not is all what it seems and there was a twist in that storyline that made me genuinely go “Seriously”….lol.

I do wish that there were more scenes with the serial killer. He was genuinely a creeper and I do wish that the author spent more time in his brain. But once Darla was killed, the serial killer really wasn’t in the story until the end. Which, to me, was a waste because a huge deal was made by Sean about people being reincarnated and then when Sean was explaining to his Captain about how the people in this case were all connected.

I do think that the author shouldn’t have spent time on making Sean’s captain fall in love with him and then have Sean drop that past life tidbit on her in the office. It went from being cute (and kinda obsessive after he found his soul mate) to really creepy and gross. If you want to know why…..read the book!!

The ending was great and, for the book, perfect. The author brought all of the storylines together in a way that satisfied me. Nothing was left open-ended, which was great.

How many stars will I give Death Unmasked? 5
