Book: Overkill by Molly Briar
Reviewed by Booksbystarlightandshadows
Rating: 4/5
I was hooked from that opening chapter; Melody is such a great FMC and a survivor through and through. I loved how all in Greg was with her even if she questioned just about everything along the way! The tension and suspense with the stalker as well as the discovery of the body had me on the edge of my seat. I felt for Melody every time her and Marc had a run in - the scenes where he was spouting the nonsense he had had heard from his friends just broke my heart for her after everything she had been through and done for her siblings.
I haven't read Griff's book but he was really grinding my gears; I get Griff was hurt but from what I understand about the situation Greg didn't know who she was and didn't do it to hurt Griff. Greg has clearly put in the work to better himself and that scene where Griff was truly spiteful as Greg spiralled, as well as the scene in the diner were quite hard to read. Cobra is still my favourite in the Mourningkill family but Greg is close second and I really wanted someone in Greg's corner rooting for him (and an on page reckoning for Griff to be honest which he totally deserved; I could totally understand where Taz was coming from as he would not let it go, despite now being with the love of his life).
I'm hoping the Gray family are about to have their time come crashing down though; their shadow seems to reach far and I'd love to see some more justice coming their way!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
