Not what I’d expected but still interesting. I read it even though it’s not my typical genre because of the author. He did a good job and although it’s not really a fit for me I still thought it was entertaining

This reads like what I imagine smoking with David Labrava would be like - a spiritual, mythical ride with so many great stories

Trust Issues was a quick read and I enjoyed every freaking minute of this love story! Its definitely not your traditional love story. It’s not watered down with wishy washy romance. It’s crazy love. A murder suicide type of love. It’s raw. Tony and Jeannie are not the perfect couple, both have their flaws. But this book has you rooting for them. I think I may have fallen in love with Tony halfway through this book. David Labrava is such a great storyteller it just sucks you in. I really enjoyed the mystic/supernatural elements of the story. Every character in this book was fascinating. Descriptions he used to describe characters and setting really helped you visualize the story in your mind. I could see this being a fantastic movie. I am sad I read this so fast! David Labrava needs to write more fiction!
