Reviews

[DA · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hospice is a heavy book to read. No humor, just unending dread and melancholy. And I may have shed some tears at the end.
My favorite character was Milo. I could see him in my mind, big and burly and even though he had to be tough you definitely could sense the good in him.
I will say that the first half of the book was maybe a little too descriptive. Some words repeating several times in a few paragraphs, but that didn't deter me from reading. As soon as Joey arrived at Transitions I was all in and needed to find out what the mystery is.
Not fast paced, a slow burn if you will, but definitely worth the read.
