FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Pump Up Your Book in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Iquitoes: The Past Will Kill by John R Beyer was an interesting book. It took me awhile to read this book because I had a hard time staying interested in what was going on in the book. I am not sure why I had a hard time staying interested in this book. I really did enjoy the authors writing and the characters in this book. I think part of the problem was with the fact that I am not really gravitating to this genre of books right now, but I am going to hold on to this book and read it again when I am more interested in these types of books. I love that this book dealt with things that some other authors won’t touch or won’t do it as well as this book did. This book didn’t have anything that bothered me, but I could see that parts of it would be to graphic for some people. If you usually love books in this genre than I am sure that you will be fine with everything in this book. Like I said before I will revisit this book in the future and see if my thoughts change on it once I am more into this genre again.
