Draca

Well, I should start by saying that this is definitely a book that I wouldn't normally have picked up. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a very enjoyable read!

It was a tense and gripping read, with the added bonus of some family drama and spooky moments! It had me hooked from the start.

Geoffrey did an amazing job describing the scenes, which really made you feel like you were experiencing them with the characters!

I loved our troubled hero, Jack who's troubles really made him a relatable character. I loved George too, who never gave up on what she wanted! But as with all stories there were characters I really didn't care for. They were awful and there were a few times when I really wanted to reach into the book and give them a good slap! Honestly I don't think I've ever come across a character who deemed themselve to be so entitled! That being said, one of these characters atleast redeemed themselves a little towards the end of the book!

I loved that the book touched on the topic of PTSD and how it can affect people in different ways.

I will admit that some of the boating terms went over my head, but it really didn't take away from the overall experience of reading the book.

The Vikings theme of the book was also quite fascinating! The resesrch done into this was clearly very well done!

Thank you to Pigeonhole and Geoffrey Gudgion for the chance to read this book! And also to my fellow Pigeonholers for making this another fun read!
