Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
Keep My Soul Sealed Shut - isn't that a terrific title? And it has a terrific cover to match. Sadly, that was the best of it for me. The book is a novella, easily read in about an hour, so I was surprised at the slow start. To be honest, I even wondered once or twice if I was reading the right book because I expected so much more than I found. With words like sinister, psychological thriller, mind games, etc. in the blurb, I really expected Kane to throw some big twists my way. There are a couple, but I had already guessed some of it, and the ending was a head-scratcher. Here's the thing, this book had so much potential. Kane's writing is good - a little choppy at times, but not bad - and where he went with this one made for an intriguing premise. I just didn't get that tension I look for in a thriller, and I didn't get any chemistry between Jax and Luca. Maybe I needed some backstory for them, but they didn't feel like a couple to me. Whatever the reason, I really struggled with this one, and since it was a quick read, I even went back and read through again to see if maybe my mind wasn't all in the first time. I felt the same the second time around. So, I guess it's safe to say that this book was not for me.
