Ripple by Michael C. Grumley

I've really been enjoying this series. This fourth book in, I feel quite a connection to the characters and the situations. As I've read the books, the author has an interesting way of writing. Very jumpy. Sometimes the paragraphs are broken up with *** even though the next paragraph is still a continuation of what had just happened, and other times it was a complete switch in storylines. That felt a little inconsistent to me (maybe just a space between paragraphs when continuing on with the same storyline, and the *** when it switches? Visibly showing more of a break?) Sometimes the story would move to such minute details/people/backstories. The author would also often allude to the future, giving things away, which would annoy me somewhat, such as "John didn't know it then, but it was already too late for his actions to make a difference" ...
The books can be a bit complex. So many characters! So much going on. Some technical stuff too, which I don't really dwell on (I'm not fact checking, just enjoying the story. Suspension of disbelief and all that).
But ... this is a series that will have a special place in my reading memory. This book didn't seem to wrap up as completely as the others. Abrupt ending. I do plan on continuing when the next book is available.
I was able to borrow this book for free as part of my Kindle Prime. Lending Library monthly book allowance (for May ... took me a little longer to get through as I had some library books, with due dates, come available and they pushed to the front of my reading queue.)
