REVIEW
*Note this book has not been released yet coming soon September 2018*
Hauntingly beautiful you will not be able to put Shepherd of the Black Sheep down. Kristopher Triana is in the likes of if I dare say, Stephen King. You are lulled into ordinary guy Tom Hardgrave’s cold world of Middlebury along with his sweet tragic granddaughter Paige. Then a child is murdered, and his granddaughter is the witness. Tirana grip has you now. You’re with Tom as his world goes into this unspeakable thriller that it is. In the end, the question remains. At what lengths would you go for your child?
Triana writing is superb. The book is set in winter so the overall tone of the book has this overcast melancholy feel it is so easy to get lost and transported like you were in Middlebury itself. Triana writes Tom with an odd likable and relatability even for a female reader. While this book is a thriller all the way it also has a hidden underlayer that I found pleasing. Not sure if I am correct or if it's just me but check out this book and see if you can find it too.
My Rating **********10 stars! SUBERB!
