No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen – Review by Vanessa Watts

No Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is like pulling a rusty knife out of your heart with the way it makes you bleed and your insides churn. PTSD is a heavy topic for any author to cover and even harder to read if you know someone who has battled this disease or if you are battling this disease.

It starts out with a pistol in his mouth and traveling down a dark road that is filled with despair and gut wrenching memories. SGT Grimm returns home with some unpleasant memories and a life filled with hatred at himself for feeling guilt over feeling responsible for his friend’s and service members deaths. This is a dangerous path and walking down this alone is often hard to come back from. As if that is not enough JP must also face the impending doomsday as the Earth’s magnetic field is weakened and the flaring sun. Can JP face his nightmares and reconnect with his wife and son before he loses the chance to? Or will the darkness consume his path and join his comrades in the afterlife?

This is a heartbreaking read that isn’t all dark as we do see some happier memories flow through that mix with the sad ones. This book gives insight into what families that face PTSD go through and the thought that no one is immune. This book is magnetizing and if you get the opportunity to pick it up definitely give it a read!
