FTC: I received a free copy of this book from the author 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.
Reunion by Carl Brookins was a good book. The one thing I was left with when I was done reading this book was that I am never going to attend a high school reunion. I really enjoyed this author writing and the characters in this book. This is one of the few books lately that I haven’t want to put down, so I stayed up way too late reading the book. This book wasn’t super suspenseful, but it did keep my interest. I really liked Jack right from the start of the book. Lori was a character that I didn’t like at first, but she did grow on me, and by the end of the book I liked her. This author made me feel like I was there with the characters, so I was able to understand why they did the things that they did during the book. If you are looking for a mystery book to read this fall, I would for sure recommend this book to you.
