Review: Suspenseful novella not for the weak of stomach
Rating: 4 out of 5

I first came across Blake Crouch when I read his collaboration with J.A. Konrath, SERIAL UNCUT. That story was twisted but interesting enough to justify downloading BREAK YOU also. This is more of the same. BREAK YOU was well written and well paced. It kept me glued to my Kindle until I finished it. The first half of BREAK YOU was great, and if the whole book was as good, I'd give it 5 stars. But (not to spoil too much) once the circumstances changed for the characters, I felt like the story went downhill. I was disappointed in the ending because I felt it was a bit of a cop-out not worthy of the setup.
