Red Rabbit - Review

Author: Alex Grecian

Genre: Western / Horror

Format: Paperback

Pages: 455

As a huge fan of Alex Grecian's The Murder Squad, I was excited for him to deep into a western. Not just any Western, though, one based in my home state. I had high hopes I was going to enjoy this. Thankfully, I was not disappointed; I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Having read other books by Grecian, I thought I knew what I was getting myself into with this book. And, for the most part, I was correct. There were some creepy jump scares here and there. So parts that broke my heart, and one single part that nearly made me lose a small portion of my lunch.

And, it's been a while since a book has grossed me out that much. 

What I didn't expect was how much of an oddsey this book was. When you first start this book, you're not sure how all these characters fit together. All these different parts that don't look like they fit together at all, or shouldn't fit together.

There were only two parts of this whole book I called from the start, and that was who and what Rabbit was. After that, all of my theories were wrong. There were a couple that were close, but still not correct. 

Red Rabbit has a lot of twists and turns throughout. Enough to keep you reading, but not enough to make you wonder if they were ever going to make it to Riddle. I will admit that it even had me not realizing how important one character was until it was almost spelled out to me, despite the foreshadowing. 

Bonus for how Grecian used the Bender family in this story. A very clever way to wind them into the story. However, it lost a star for what happened to Ned and Willie. That was some bull, and we all know it. Ned deserved better.

I said, what, I said.

I am, however, glad I bought Rose of Jericho, which is the next book in this series. I'm curious about what kind of trouble the trio of ladies is gonna find on the East Coast. So that's moved to my 2025 To Be Read pile.

HAPPY READING!!
