I struggled with this. Pacing all over the place. I wanted more suspense to keep my interest which wavered throughout. The changes in perspectives didn't flow either. They were so choppy, almost like entirely different stories in one book.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Thomas & Mercer and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

A well written family drama full of intrigue and suspense. The Den had me spellbound immediately.

I loved the premise of this book; I'm always intrigued by layered family drama, especially if it surrounds suspicious circumstances. However, the pacing at the beginning of the story really threw me off.

The first chapter was one perspective with action that escalated in a cheesy and unbelievable way. The second chapter was another perspective that translated into no action and forced exposition, and the third chapter was yet another viewpoint.

This inconsistency, along with a lack of momentum, lost my interest. I think this was a case where the book could have started a few chapters in to immerse the reader in the narrative, but unfortunately, by the time I reached that point, I didn't feel compelled to keep reading.

I admit that, since I didn't totally love Cara Reinard's Sweet Water, I began reading this with medium expectations. However, I was quickly proved wrong - and ended up really enjoying The Den!

In this book, Reinard does an amazing job at weaving together multiple characters and perspectives - and also at creating a layered tale of revenge, family, and murder.

And the last half of the book is perfect - I couldn't put it down!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me such a great reading experience!

Really really enjoyed this story. Will recommend to others. I think that others will really enjoy this story.

Good book! Wow! What a twisted story! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, and so many twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I will recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! It wasn't one of my top favorites but it was still really good! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
