*spoiler free review*

The last week I managed to get myself in a reading slump. Why that happened I don’t know, but it may have to do with my overly ambitious reading plans (yeah, same story over and over again 😉). But this ARC that I got, helped me to go right out of it again. This psychological thriller called ‚Remi Bone‘ is a fast-paced read that follows our main character Remi, who – knowing that he has not much time anymore – wants to know his daughter provided for for when he will be gone. Not many options to earn a lot of money in short time, Remi decides to let himself be hired as a hitman. But not just Remi tries to take matters in his own hand and so danger is lurking everywhere…

I do like some morally grey characters every once in a while, but at the same time i like it when it is clear, who the real bad people are. I find such a simple setup quite soothing and this book provided that for me. Although the characters were not particularly loveable, I found myself hooked anyway and it was quite a quick read therefore. Character development did sparsely happen, but this is not the kind of book where that bothers me or where it is necessary. The characters in itself I found quite realistically drawn. Diversity in choice of hte characters race was moderate divers, which is always a very good thing in my opinion 🙂

I didn’t care too much for the constant mentioning of intercourse related stuff, but other than that, there is not much to complain about. Each time when I feared that the plot would diverge into chlichè-territory the author managed to not go there (VERY much appreciated). Although there was one scene that I thought was quite unrealistic and got me shaking my head quite a bit (I do not want to spoiler anyone, so if you want to talk mre about that, just head over to my Instagram and DM me!). The short chapters helped to make this a very easy read and I can just recommend this for anyone out there in a reading slump!

The only bigger downside of this thriller were on the one hand the ending (quite unbelievable and morally more than questionable. Also here the characters didn’t seem to act coherent in my opinion). And on the other hand I really didn’t like how drug addicted persons were describend in the story. They were literally just called ‚Zombies‘ most of the time and seemed to be more thing- than human-like, and were portraied as merely a nuisance that had to be taken care of (meaning gotten rid off). Butif you can overlook that I can say:

Overall still a solid and enjoyable read 🙂

⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 stars from me, solid read
