I liked the multiple narrators, though the characters seemed flat to me. As the reader, I also liked how it felt like I was getting closer to the crux of the story by approaching from both "before" and "after" perspectives. The ending made me mad and felt contrived, but alas, that's how a lot of thrillers being compared to Gone Girl are lately.I liked the multiple narrators, though the characters seemed flat to me.

If you like plot twists, simple prose, and page-turning suspense, you'll probably like this one! If you're annoyed when authors allow characters to withhold known information (used as a device to prolong suspense) or if you're sensitive to scenes of twisted violence/disturbing interactions (maybe 1-2 scenes), this may be one to skip.If you like plot twists, simple prose, and page-turning suspense, you'll probably like this one!

I wanted to like this book, but it read like a novel from the perspective of a woman written by a man (a man, who has never met or interacted with a woman).

Bull Mountain surrounds a family in northern Georgia, where drugs, weapons, and wealth are top priorities, often at the expense of human life. The book walks its readers through this family's brutal rise to the top, spanning multiple generations through several points of view. Fast-paced, gritty, violent, and raw, Bull Mountain is a debut novel that reminded me of all the reasons I enjoy the 'grit lit' genre.Bull Mountain surrounds a family in northern Georgia, where drugs, weapons, and wealth are top priorities, often at the expense of human life.

Very interesting, detailed, and well-researched but I couldn't overlook the repetitiveness and lack of direction. I think it could've easily been 100 pages shorter. Read The Witches if you love to learn and don't mind more of an academic approach. It might be one to skip if you're more into fast-paced, narrative nonfiction.Very interesting, detailed, and well-researched but I couldn't overlook the repetitiveness and lack of direction.

Signature Kate Morton featuring an old house with lots of family secrets, atmospheric settings, interesting characters, & interwoven plots. I really liked the alternating narrators and time periods, and I couldn't believe the way it all came together in the end. Kate Morton is easily one of my favorite authors, and her latest shouldn't be missed. It's arguably her best so far!Signature Kate Morton featuring an old house with lots of family secrets, atmospheric settings, interesting characters, & interwoven plots.

Beautiful writing surrounding a stunningly horrific historical event (Armenian genocide) that I hadn't even heard of until reading this book, which makes this debut novel all the more important.

This book provides many good reminders for Christians looking to be real with themselves about their faith. I thought it seemed heavy on the "what you're all doing wrong" rhetoric at times.
