Book review : River of Wrath

Book review :
River of Wrath has plenty of intrigue and suspense, with a gothic feel. It has some twists and turns to keep us on our toes. In book 2 of the St. Benedict series, we venture further into the malice that is the Devereaux family. While graves are being dug for the deaths occurring like clockwork, secrets are being dug up on the most famous family to ever exist in St. Benedict.

The story begins with  local sheriff Kent Davis oversees the discovery of yet another body. This one looks to have been buried for at least 20 years. High School senior Leslie Moore and her  friends know far more about the mysteries of St. Benedict than Sheriff Davis. After seeking revenge over a horrible crime, the teen vigilantes agreed never to speak to the police. But as Leslie struggles through grief, the newly unearthed body - and the collective shock when another girl goes missing - turns her anguish into an obsession to learn the disturbing truth.

The way the paranormal elements were included provided a very creepy and disturbing atmosphere. The author has well penned the mystery and the intrigue factor throughout the story to keep the reader engrossed. Language is lucid and the scenes are vividly depicted.

Overall, River of Wrath is a thrilling book with so many secrets unravelling to keep the reader hooked up till the end. Unlike the first book, the ending of this one is unresolved, and I can’t wait to read the next. What an ending!
