Review: COME JOIN THE MURDER by Holly Rae Garcia


James had killed someone. It was supposed to be a robbery, but all he got was $32 out of it—not enough to help his mama. And the news had the reports on him.

Rebecca will never forget the last time she saw her husband and son alive—it was the night they both disappeared.

Story tends to be too descriptive on the scenery, even when looking at a photograph. It would seem that every little thing sparked a memory for the main character. She just re-lived too many memories, which slowed down the story a lot. And what a lengthy funeral, which just described the memories, the process, and the angry feelings. We’re just dawdling away here. Story over embellishes when it should’ve been progressing. Heck, there’s even over embellishment on James’ side—on his childhood and whatnot. C’mon, let’s a get a move on! I’m just waiting for the mystery/thriller part here….

My rating: 2 stars
