A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by Maria Colon

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not only was this a new genre to me, as in I’ve mainly read romance the past several years, but this was a new author to me as well and…A River of Crows is most definitely a five-star read!

I read the last 87% in 4 hours with a few interruptions.

We are taken between past and present decades revolving around the mysterious death of Sloane’s younger brother Ridge. We learn quite a bit about her father, brother, best/ex-boyfriend and a few other characters but also get a glimpse into the minds of two other characters when you least expect it.

There is such a depth to the writing that makes you feel like you are in the mind of the characters. The author weaves the story drawing you in in such a manner that you feel like you are right there beside the characters.

It was a novel filled with familial dysfunction, heartache, mental health struggles, loss, dare I say second chances and also hope.
