The Dark Maestro by Brendan Slocumb
4.0
ARC gifted by the publisher
I THINK THE BLURB GAVE TOO MUCH AWAY!!!!!
What I liked
- the father-son relationship 🥹
- i always love the music elements of Slocumb’s novels, and this one is no exception
- fast paced and lots of twists with the story
What didn’t quite work for me
- of the 3 novels I’ve read from Slocumb, you really have to suspend your disbelief. It got very wild in the bit
- the superhero aspect wasn’t as interesting to me, and I wish the story would’ve focused more on music
In reading the author’s notes, I think writing this book is more of a healing journey for him. So while the elements didn’t quite work well together, I still appreciate reading this book, and I can’t wait to read Slocumb’s future novels!
