4.5

4.5✨ - Jackal was a wild ride! Liz Rocher, a Black woman from a small, predominantly white town, returns home for a wedding, expecting just a quick weekend trip. But things quickly spiral into something far more complicated and far worse. The pacing dragged a bit in the middle, and while the ending had plenty of twists, it felt rushed and somewhat disjointed. Despite its flaws, the book offered a lot of depth and complexity. Is it about racism, sexism, classism, or the criminal justice system—or all of the above? As a thriller lover this book kept me on my toes until the very end! 
Trigger warning: Child abduction, abuse, some horror (abuse only mentioned but no visual)
