Book Review: "No Woods So Dark As These" By Randall Silvis

Imagine if you will retiring from the police force only to have the bloody deeds and crime practically land at your doorstep.

If this doesn't send a cringe down your spine imagine you simply wanted to live your life out in peace and quiet with some harmony being shared with your girlfriend.


Unfortunately, this was not to be the case as former Seargeant Ryan DeMarco has stumbled upon two dead bodies in the car near the woods and everything become chaotic at once.


The way in which this story presents is quite unique and had me questioning the reasoning behind placing gruesome information about abortion before such actions takes place.


The pacing on this was fine for my taste with some heavy topics including miscarriage, infertility, drugs, stealing, and mental health.


However, the lack of women's rights, the reasoning for abortions including rape, the lack of empathy, and the female character Jayme who viewed abortion in a one sided case.


The ending was also different to me from previous works and felt a bit odd because many may not know who Khatri is when he simply plots down into the story.


This background information would've been helpful to understanding the danger he possessed and the evil that was lurking.


All in all it's a great new read by Randall Silvis and I look forward to many more to come.


Thank you to Randall, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
