Hush (Adult Book Review)

Hush

Published December 30th 2014 by Gallery Books

When Riley Cowan finds her estranged husband Jeff dead in his palatial home, she's sure it's no coincidence. The police rule it a suicide, but Riley thinks someone's out for blood—specifically someone Jeff's father ripped off in one of the biggest financial fraud cases of all time. She suspects that someone is trying to send a message to Jeff's father: Tell me where the money is, or everyone you care about will die.

Riley's in-laws might be billionaires, but she's afraid that not even their dirty money can protect her from an irate investor who will stop at nothing to get his hands on his misappropriated cash. Enter Finn Bradley, Philly-based FBI agent and Riley's love interest from way back when. Finn agrees to help Riley, and the two reignite sparks they both thought were extinguished long ago. But can they discover the killer's identity in time, before he resurfaces—and strikes again?

Review:

First of all, I was at first interested in reading this one because I had seen copies of it everywhere. But I lost interest after a while.

Until that is, I was stuck without a single book but this one.
So, I did end up reading this. But I didn't enjoy myself.

I am not a huge adult book fan, I do enjoy reading my share of Nicolas Sparks and some other adult mystery/thriller writers, but other than my favorites, I don't really branch out much.
And Hush is a reminder why.

I could not STAND the characters, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying, (get the point?). Not for me at all. Couldn't connect, didn't enjoy reading about them, lost interest in their stories after the first 25 pages or so.

The plot was boring, really, really, boring. I have read quite a few mystery/thrillers in the adult genre, and I know an awesome, exciting plot when I read one. This was not one of those.

So pretty much the only reason I did finish this one is that it was the only book I had at the time. I probably won't be reading anything else by this author, and I definitely will never pick up this book again.
