The Red River Slayer

 

The Red River Slayer is another book I got from the .49 cent sale. I had no clue it was a series. Despite that the book read as a stand alone.

Char is trying to heal from being a victim of sex trafficking and just wants to feel safe while being useful. I like how she was timid but able to stand up for herself without sounding like a cold person. Life was hard for Char until she was freed from her horribly cycle of life and it shows in her demeanor. It was clear she was a person with many layers to her. 

Mack came off as harder and more tight lipped then Char which made since for his character development and jobs in his life. I do not feel like he was in the story as much and it was hard to get to know him.

The overall mystery of the story was nearly impossible to figure out until the end. I did not believe I missed any early clues as to who the Red River Slayer could be which was frustrating. Even if I cannot solve the mystery I like more of a chance to solve it. The writing was clear and easy to follow even with the few jumps around between characters.
