Review written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I
want to thank Ava Black and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can
bring you this review.
I am a huge
fan of psychological thrillers but never have I read a prologue to a book that
shocked me so much as this Ava Black’s The Bug Jar. Warning to readers you may
want to skip this section of the book. With that being said dang what a way to
start off the book!! You not only shocked the heck out of me you got my total
and undivided attention. He was a sick and troubled kid and well it made for a good
story!!
This book
touches on a very important topic mental illness. Ava brings up stalking,
bipolar disorder, depression, animal cruelty by the hands of his owner.
Sam quick
wit sarcastic humor made me laugh out loud. Especially about Sam’s take on
makeup and her customers buying her makeup products.
I loved how
Sam wanted a better life than the one she had. However, having an affair with
the soon to be Mayor and hoping he will leave his wife wont work. Sam was
delusional and had mental issues that she saw a shrink for.
I could
totally see this being an independent movie at the small movie theaters. I think
it would do well actually.
Ava’s
description, attention and ability to tell a story that is totally outside the
box that has never been done before is incredible.
I absolutely
loved the cover of the book. It captured the essence of not only the title but
the feel of the book as well. Kudos to the graphic artist and the one who came
up with the idea.
If you like
books about cheating spouses, death of a child, unstable individuals, political
campaigns, police investigations, troubled youth, stalkers, then this book
might be for you.
