I currently can only read free books (open for recommendations, although I think I wrung the classics dry for all their worth), but I found a book in one of those mobile libraries that does actually have me hooked: The Innocent by Harlan Coben.

It’s not even close to being the best book I ever read. But it’s well written enough and well plotted enough to keep me hooked. Probably my biggest gripe is the author’s description of the women is how attractive they are. Even when he’s describing the protagonists’ wife, he only describes how much the main character thinks she’s hot. Not a complete turn-off, but still a gripe. 😅

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

It wasn’t terrible by any means. But I kept being told how-fast paced and gripping it was.

The fastest the pace went was the main character ducking behind a barrier in a very brief firefight.

I’m not one of those action junkies, but I was kind of expecting more.
