This book has done a number on me. Honestly what even just happened. This book held my attention right until the last page and the twists and turns were marvellous. When I was finished I sat there almost dumbfounded for a few minutes. Phenomenal book. Truly worth a read. It was well thought out, planned and executed and has you feeling like you’re right there along the ride. Cannot wait to find more from this new author to me.

This book has EVERYTHING. I was hooked from the 1st chapter. I lost sleep. I ordered pizza instead of cooking… I could NOT put this book down. The characters are so well written. The plot is strong. The story flows. There is some MAJOR twists I did NOT expect. Usually I can figure out the “who done it” aspect of books. But this one had me SHOCKED. I 100% recommend this book!!!

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm

A River of Crows is a Crime Thriller that is packed with revenge, suspense, drama, mystery and so much more. This is my first book by this author and I’m a fan already. This is full of suspense and the twists and turns had me turning the pages on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. There’s so many layers to this story I was pulled in from the beginning and found myself lost in the pages. I lost all track of time until I finished. This story a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride with all the different things going on and all the emotions the characters are feeling. There was a couple spots my emotions were all over the place. This story touches on Mental Health , trust and PTSD. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to accidentally give anything away. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This was a new author to me and sometimes you just never know what you’re going to get. I am glad I gave Ms. Gluhm a try with this gripping murder mystery tale because I could not put this book down.

We start off cryptically with a water scene and crows but never truly knows who is exactly speaking to us. Then we find out about Ridge and how they suspected he died but never actually recovered the body. Could that be the voice that started off the story? Sloan is hitting a rough spot in her life with her divorce coming to a close and now her mother checking herself out of her facility. Sloan returns to the town she grew up in and the place where they lost her brother. However, she gets more than she bargained for when things regarding her brother’s death don’t add up. Add in another boy’s body being found and Sloan is on the case to solve exactly what happened to her brother. Unfortunately, what she unravels will shock the entire town.

This book is an amazing read that lets you know when secrets come out, they can’t be taken back. It was a gripping read from start to finish and left you trying to figure out exactly what happened. Some characters you love and others you love to hate which is the telling of a great author. I now need to go read her other books because she definitely knocked this one out of the park.

I LOVED LOVED this book. I am not going to say anything about the story in this review about the actual characters or story because it is better to experience every juicy detail without knowing much. The author did a magnificent job in this book with a balance of not getting into the gory details but leaving you to your imagination. She has a penchant for not describing a room a character walks into but adding details here and there. I loved that fact as a reader. I don’t need pages of descriptions. The story itself will keep you guessing and your emotions flying. If you haven’t read this story or this author, she is a MUST and if she continues to write books this good, she will be a best seller soon.

Let me just say that the beginning of the book kind of threw me off, but it got me hooked and had me turning the pages. After 20 years Sloan Hadfield is still trying to recover from the death of her brother. It seems like she has come to terms with it, but she is in the middle of a divorce when she gets the news that her father is about to be out of prison and her mother is being discharged from a mental facility. She has to face her past by going back to her hometown where it all went down. Her brother was never found so she had always wondered if he truly was out there living a good life like her mother has been saying. When another young boy turns up she is determined to get to the truth no matter what. A lot of secrets come out and everyone will be shocked when they finally hear what truly happened. Will Sloan be able to reconcile the past and the present?

I cannot adequately describe how great this book is. I was hooked immediately and the book twisted and turned in ways I never expected. The characters are mired in tragedy and trauma, yet are hopeful and real. The events that unfold are intertwined spectacularly. The writer has a masterful grasp of story telling! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a good book. Stunning.

If you are looking for a beautifully written novel full of atmospheric storytelling, mystery, a murder, lies, and secrets with well-rounded characters, then this read is for you.

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm is written in 2 timeliness. The past, 1988 when main character, Sloan Hadfield’s went missing after a fishing trip with their father and 20 years later in 2008 as she is forced back to her hometown, where it all happened.

This story was masterfully crafted by the author. The well-rounded and beautifully flawed characters help build the plot that is full of mystery, intrigue, and lies. My weakness is a flawed character, and this book is full of them. The way the story unraveled had me gasping and not wanting to stop reading. This slow burn builds to a blazing fire that will leave you satisfied but so sad that it ended. I was already a fan after reading Enemies of Doves, but this book solidified my need to read everything this author will ever publish.

Happy Reading!

Wow! If you’re looking for a page-turning, drama-filled, action-packed book, this one is for you! The author is a talented storyteller and exceptional writer. I read this in two sittings (only because I didn’t know when I picked it up I wouldn’t be able to put it down and I had other plans)….just plan to read it all the way through once you start. There are twists and turns and jaw-dropping moments perfectly placed and makes you wonder what is coming next. The family secrets and drama take you where you least expect surrounding the death and disappearance of Sloan’s brother Ridge. The setting, characters, and plot are well developed and it is extremely well written. This is by far the best book I have read so far this year!

This book was absolutely amazing! I have not read a page turner like this one in a long time. This story had so many unexpected plot twists. The story flows so well and the characters are intricately written. I was taken by surprise at every turn of the page. This author definitely takes you on a wild ride. My heart breaks for so many of the characters for different reasons but especially Sloan. Her and Ridge are the two characters that do not make you mad at some point. So much happens in the book but the author makes it so easy to follow. I will definitely be following this author for future reads!

Sloan Hatfield wishes she could keep the destruction of her past in the past, but her mother has checked herself out of the mental hospital. Her father who was charged with murder of her brother Ridge is about to get out of jail and Sloan is having to head back home to Crow’s Next Creek to sort it out. As all this is surrounding her, she begins to question what really happened. Lies are told, secrets are revealed and the truth is about to come out that will have everyone reeling.

This was an excellent page turning suspense. The story vacillates between 1988 and 2008, you think the story is going one way only to have a twist you don’t see coming.

I hadn’t read anything by Shanessa Gluhm before A River of Crows, but this blew me away with such force that I’ve already picked up her another one of her books! I can’t remember the last time I was literally gripping my eBook so hard because of the suspense. The author takes us on a highly emotional rollercoaster with impossible to predict twists and turns throughout the entire story. Family ties will be challenged and some of their deepest secrets will be revealed. Can they all make it through in one piece, or will it be too devastating to go on? I cannot sing praises for this enough. I highly recommend picking this up if you want to be fully invested in a riveting crime thriller!

A gripping mystery, thriller which kept me hooked throughout. The fast paced storyline and plot twists kept me guessing and turning the pages desperate to find out what would happen next! The story is told through a dual timeline, it starts off set in 1988, when Sloan Hadfield’s brother Ridge goes fishing with their father at Crow’s Nest Creek, and never returns home. Sloan’s Vietnam veteran father, who although mostly good natured, was also prone to violent outbursts was arrested and charged with the murder, although Ridge’s body was never found. Sloan’s ornithologist mother never excepted that her son was dead and insisted he was still alive, and went slowly mad. The story picks up twenty years later and Sloan who is in the middle of a bitter divorce, is once again in her hometown, to collect her mother who’s been discharged from a mental health facility.
Being back is overwhelming for Sloan, who has so many unanswered questions, and so returns to Crow’s Nest Creek, the last place her brother was seen. Sloan is shocked by the sound of a crow muttering the same syllable over and over, which sounds like ‘Ridge’. Then the body of another boy is found, making Sloan question what really happened to her brother all those years ago, and was her father guilty. It’s not just Sloan and her family who are shocked by what she discovers, the whole community will be as well. This tale of family secrets, deception, and revenge is a real page turner. The descriptive narrative really brings the aerie and atmospheric Crow’s Nest Creek vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story, along with the wonderfully defined characters. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend, and I’ve discovered a new author.

Shanessa Gluhm had me in a choke hold from the first page and didn’t let go until the very end. This novel kept me up into the wee hours of the night because I had to know what was going to happen next and I was furiously tapping on my Kindle to get the pages to turn faster. This is the gripping tale of Sloan and Ridge and the lies that tore their family apart for years. A River of Crows has so many twists and turns I got whiplash. I cannot praise this book enough. If you love thrillers, family drama, and really not knowing what’s going to happen until right before it happens, pick this book up right now!

Sloan Hadfield’s life was changed forever in 1988 when her younger brother disappeared while on a fishing trip with their father. Although Ridge’s body was never recovered their father was charged for his murder and sent to prison. It was suspected that their father killed Ridge while in the midst of one of the blackouts he was prone to having from his flashbacks of his time spent in Vietnam. After Ridge’s death his mother started to spiral out of control and slowly descend into madness that had her repeatedly being admitted into a mental facility. After her mom was committed to a mental health facility long-term, Sloan moved away to attend college and start a life of her own.

Twenty years after her brother’s death, Sloan is forced to return home to look after mother who has been released from the mental health facility. Sloan is reluctant to return home because of the painful memories from her past but she is the only family her mom has left. After suffering from a recent divorce, she really has nowhere else to call home. Seeing her childhood home dredges up her painful childhood and how much she misses her brother, and her childhood prior to his death. They were once a happy family but now she feels lost, alone, and bitter at how her life turned out.

Missing her brother, Sloan visits their favorite place, Crow’s Nest Creek, which also is where he was last seen. This is the place Sloan, Ridge, and their childhood friend, Noah, spent countless hours watching the crows. This is the one place that helps her feel close to her brother and where she feels a sense of calm. Sloan still has numerous unanswered questions about her brother and what happened to him twenty years ago and starts reliving the moments leading up to his disappearance. When the body of another young boy who disappeared around the same time as her brother is discovered Sloan starts to wonder if the two disappearances were somehow linked. As she starts to ask questions and search into her brother’s disappearance, Sloan is shocked at the secrets that are revealed. The truth shocks her to her core.

This book was intense and impossible to put down! I was a bit upset when I was interrupted a few times while trying to read it because I needed to see what happened next. I was not prepared for the twists and turns the storyline took and I am certain I gasped out loud at points throughout as the truth behind Ridge’s disappearance were revealed. The storyline was well developed, well laid out, and clearly thought out from start to finish.

The characters were ones that I immediately felt a connection to. Sloan was to be admired for standing by her mom no matter how bad things got. Caroline was one that I both loved and hated at the same time. As I was able to catch a glimpse into her past, I could empathize with her because of the trauma she has been through. This helped to explain her actions to a certain extent. However, it is not a reasonable excuse for her outrageous behavior and violent outbursts. When Sloan made excuses for her, or covered up and lied for her mom, it made me want to slap her. Yet, at the same time, I could understand that she still loved her mom and wanted to protect her. It was a true rollercoaster ride for me as I felt the emotions alongside each character. This book had action, suspense, drama, intrigue, lies, hidden agendas, betrayal, sinister family secrets, and a lot of information about crows. I have a whole new outlook on the lives of crows and a whole new respect for them. This book did not disappoint and I will definitely be looking for more by this incredibly talented author!

I really enjoyed this story. The author has an amazing way of gripping the reader within the first chapter and not letting them go. I read this book in one sitting as I just couldn’t put it down. There are so many secrets and lies to uncover and it deals with some sensitive subjects such as grief and mental illness.

Sloan has had a hard childhood. After witnessing her father attack her mother in violent outbursts she is always on edge however things go from back to worse when her brother is murdered. This event completely sends Sloan’s life spiralling as her mother’s mental health declines and her father is arrested and charged with her brother murder the only thing she want to do is escape.
Years later Sloan is forced to return to her home town when her mother checks herself out of the mental health facility she was placed in. On her return Sloan now has to finally face up to the demons of her past and with her fathers release from prison finally come to terms with what happened to her young brother.
However the story isn’t as it seems and as all the secrets and lies begin to unravel we are shown the truth of what happened to Sloans family and why.
This was a great read. The twists and turns I couldn’t see coming which meant I couldn’t stop reading till I reached the end.

What a twisty turny mystery! I enjoy the way this author writes her book. It is a lot of flash bang then the mystery that follows and explains the Bang. Everything is not as it would seem. I enjoyed all the crow analogies..very interesting. There are quite a few characters but the story revolves around just a handful. So many times I await the other shoe to drop especially in the second half. I keep thinking I know what happened or is happening…sometimes I was right and others I was wrong. I had mixed feelings about who I feel sorry for and who I disliked or liked. It really fluctuated up and down as the story moved along. I really have a lot to say about all the characters but I can not without giving something away.

Revenge never hurts only one person because secrets always rise to the surface.

This book was brilliantly written with a complex but strong character development. The author keeps the reader intrigued and excited to continue reading the book with its many twists and turns.

Sloan, the female lead character is living a complicated life while trying to distance herself from her past. Her life hasn’t been easy and thing’s drastically changed after the mysterious disappearance of her younger brother many years ago. Her father was convicted, her mother committed and Sloan had to make her way through the thick of things mostly on her own. She had a few loved ones back home who helped her with her mother, which she constantly felt guilty about each day. When she found out that she needed to come home again due to family drama, she reluctantly returns and soon finds her life flipped upside down.

This book is a fantastic mystery and crime story with a few twists and turns that will have you questioning who did it!?

I highly recommend reading this book!

I’m not sure how one will do this book justice with a review I think each one should read and keep their thoughts to them self , a secret of sorts , it feels sacred to share these folks and their story ….

Sloan heads back to her hometown of Mallowater with her father’s release from prison looming and her mother deciding she no longer needs to be in a psychiatric facility and her own life in shambles she has a lot going on and I actually hurt for her ….

Growing up Sloan seemed to have it all , loving parents (despite her father’s PTSD episodes) a brother , Ridge and a best friend named Noah but something changed when her mum had to go and get a copy of Ridge’s birth certificate…..

Life changed for Sloan , her dad went to prison , her brother was “dead” , her mother lost her marbles and the town shunned them 🥲

Now with her father being released , Sloan has questions and she’s determined to find the answers to them … what she finds left me cold and with lots of questions … people are indeed very strange beings and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned that is for sure ….

As the story and truth unfolds one thing struck me and that all this happened because one woman was hurt and her pain caused this rollercoaster of madness !

Absolute brilliance 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I could not put this book down. From the beginning, I truly thought the author was going to go one way and all of a sudden there are twists and turns I was not expecting. The characters are brought to life in a way that makes you want to search their story to see whether or not it is true. Obviously this is a work of fiction, but that is how great of a job this author did with the novel!

You will not be disappointed if you pick up this book. It is a standard length, but you will fly through it if you love it as much as I did. There are not many books that make me stay up late to read (I love my sleep), but this is not just any book. From the characters to the storyline, this domestic mystery will not let you down!

I could not put this book down!!! I wanted to…to savor the story and have time to digest it but like an addiction, I just had to know. There are so many facets to this story about Sloan, Ridge, and the rest of the Hadfield family that it’s hard to really put into words an adequate review without throwing in spoilers. I don’t want to do that at all!!

Sloan returns to her hometown, in the midst of a divorce, to care for her mom who’s being discharged from a mental health facility. Life for them hasn’t been easy for the past twenty years when Sloan’s brother, Ridge, went missing and was ultimately confirmed to be murdered. Those murderous hands, according to a court of law, happen to belong to Sloan’s dad.

It’s when a body is discovered that has ties to Sloan’s childhood that she starts to do some more digging on her own. Maybe “Digging Up Bones” will leave her “No Stranger to the Rain” but will it help her and others in end or should she just let things go?

Sloan has a love for Keith Whitley and Randy Travis, two of my favorites as well! Her love of music might be the only thing to save her sanity throughout this mess of her family!

I’m very surprised by the level of depth in this book by a fairly new author. This is only her second book but I’ve already got Enemies of Doves added to my TBR list! I love a great book that I can read in one setting that will haunt me for a few days!

I am normally pretty good at figuring out what is going on in a book……NOPE NOT THIS TIME.
I really felt like Sloan (main character) and myself were decovering what has happened in HER life all at the same time.

Wow, this book has nearly left me speechless. This gripped me literally from the start. This book was captivating in a way i haven’t experienced in a while and thank goodness because i was desperately in need of a GOOD book. This is a story about lies, betrayal, secrets on secrets, and i was on the edge of my seat nearly the entire time. My heart hurt for Sloan and all she endured as a child, from losing her brother at her dad’s hands to trying to care for her mentally ill mother, keep the house in check and essentially being alone in it all. This story had twists i never anticipated and that was my favorite part. My jaw was on the floor at some parts and i ate this up!!! I was not sure how to take some of the relationships in this book, as i did not know who to trust fully because i could feel something was off but the twist was NOT what i thought which just made it that much better. I absolutely recommend this book if you are looking for a thriller that is well-written, twisty, and sucks you in from the first page.

Wow! There’s got to be a better word but I can’t figure it out right now but WOW!
I picked this book up based off the cover and synopsis alone. And what I got was not what I expected. AT. ALL.
This is by far the BEST book I’ve read all year. Let me preface this by saying I am not a flashback and forth in time fan, but this was done so seamlessly and it just got the story that I am happy it was done this way.
I could relate to the characters, to some of the things happening but what got me the most was the visuals and the feelings that I was learning and living all of this as Sloan our main character was.
Usually I can have a hunch or figure out fairly quickly who did what or why or how but this one, oh no. This one had me gasp so loud I scared my dog and then I had to read it again to be sure my eyes were functioning.
If you are a fan of crime or thriller reads, you need to run and get this book. You won’t be disappointed I swear. I will now be adding this author to my list of must reads if this book is anything to go off of.
