A Wanted Man

Harsh, raw, real. Those are the words that come to mind with this novel. Morey weaves a suspenseful tale full of questions and some of the absolute worst aspects of humanity. She develops an intricate type of suspense that caused me to try and unravel the ‘who’ and the ‘why’ from page one on. The seamless plot development combined with the flawless world building to create a whole that allowed me to escape from reality and into its pages. The cast of characters definitely took this novel from good to great. Kadin’s past was so painful that I could barely force myself to imagine it. His pain and fear bled from the pages of the novel. I appreciated how he made something productive of it, even if he’d yet to recover himself. Penny’s self-discovery and emotional growth made her a heroine to contend with. The way that their lives intertwined with and bisected those of the supporting cast created even more for me to unravel. It was as fantastic as it was chilling. Morey’s gritty novel not only takes a look at the harsh realities of circumstance but also shows how love pops up at the most inopportune times, but when it’s right, its right. I definitely can’t wait to see where this series goes from here. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
