Review & GIVEAWAY: Indivisible

Title: Indivisible

Author: Kristen Heitzmann

Special: Click HERE to listen to an interview of Kristen Heitzmann.

From the Back of the Book: Battling his own personal demons, Police Chief Jonah Westfall knows the dark side of life and has committed himself to eradicating it. When a pair of raccoons are found mutilated in Redford, Colorado, Jonah investigates the gruesome act, knowing the strange event could escalate and destroy the tranquility of his small mountain town. With a rising drug threat and never-ending conflict with Tia Manning, a formidable childhood friend with whom he has more than a passing history, Jonah fights for answers—and his fragile sobriety.

But he can’t penetrate every wound or secret—especially one fueled by a love and guilt teetering on madness.

From best-selling author Kristen Heitzmann comes a spellbinding tale of severed connections and the consequences of life lived alone.

My Thoughts: I must have had high expectations for this book. I think it sounds REALLY good. And it is pretty good, but not AWESOME. It didn’t shock my socks off. It didn’t have me hooked until the last few chapters. In the beginning, a lot of bait is thrown out – many references to past events that we’re left guessing about. That only keeps me going so long. Don’t throw several “mysteries” at me and then string me along for most of the book. Give me something early on – an appetizer, if you will. I will admit that there were some unexpected twists and turns, and the one at the VERY end (which I will NOT spoil for you) did catch me a bit off guard. I really didn’t see that final twist coming. But, of course, looking back, I can see small hints throughout the book. That part was VERY well done. One of those why-didn’t-I-catch-that things that I occasionally run into! That said, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the end. Too many unanswered questions. What happens with Miles? Is Scout OK? What happens with the mayor? I find myself hoping Heitzmann is planning a sequel in hopes of finding these answers. Do I see myself reading this book again? Honestly, probably not. But maybe.

My Rating: 3.5 stars
