What a roller coaster
I wanted to like this book, but there was a disconnect. At the beginning we spend so much time learning the exact call out times, the exact response time just tons of extra information, but the further you get into the story the less information you get. The story starts with a surgeon being called out for an injury wreck. It turns and twists into an affair, a kidnapping, another affair, murder, theft, illegal drugs etc. the story just kept building and escalating, but then it truly was a roller coaster drop. All that build up ended quickly and without the story to support the visions. I could tell where the author was going, but wish the entire story had been concise.
A So-So read
A so-so book. While the plot line was interesting, the lead characterâs evolution was poor. Iâm tired of seeing the main character, Dr. Sands, act like an all-trusting idiot. Really? Give her more smarts and street cred. She acted more like the stereotypical damsel in distress than someone you hoped to have faith in getting out of her predicament. Her brain skills didnât match her survival skills (which at times seemed far fetched). Is it a British thing or me - but the use of the word âdarlingâ to describe your son and spouse was so 1940-ish.
KEPT ME UP ALL NIGHT!!!
I couldn't believe how the story kept twisting and turning throughout the whole book. I never got bored. I never wanted to put it down. Just when you thought that you figured out the plot or if a character was good, or bad, "BAM" it changed!!! Great book, I will definitely read this one again, which I never do...
good, well-paced read
I enjoyed this novel tremendously. The story line moves along at a deliberate pace, a refreshing change from thrillers where the entire story takes place within 24 hours. The author includes some game-changing plot twists--enough to keep you guessing to the end.
Slow Bleed Was Intriguing!
Slow Bleed was intriguing. It captured me from the very beginning and held me captive until the last sentence. I wasn't sure why it was titled "Slow Bleed," but I finally got it. It was definitely a plot twisting, page turner for me. Dr. Jemma Sands' life, turned nightmare, was a strange set of circumstances, but I followed it. I was sometimes shocked and at other times wondered if it would break her strong will to get her son back. Life is strange and so are people-friends and enemies. Tim Adler, this was a well-written book.
