My Thoughts:
I am rather hesitant when it comes to reading books in the genre of paranormal fiction. I have read only a few books in this genre since the plots are sometimes rather hard to digest. However, when Greta contacted me regarding reading and reviewing her newly released Primogénito: The Fuentes Legacy I went on Goodreads to check out her page. It was through this that I came to know of her first book. The synopsis of the plot had me hooked.
The story is actually well written and though it is in the paranormal fiction category, the concept was believable and well laid out. The plot follows David Jenson, who comes to Laurel Hill on “personal business”. He starts asking random questions and meets some people from the town. When he meets Sarah, she is drawn to him and her intrigue causes her to put some of the pieces of the mystery together. Her line of questioning makes David consider his connection to Amelia Davis, a lady who was brutally murdered thirty years ago, and who case was never solved. Throw in some strange occurrences and we have our paranormal part of the plot kick in along with the beginning of what might turn out to be a great romance.
The story is fast-paced, and the plot is rather clear. The author sticks to the same with no unnecessary deviation. There may be a few places where the plot feels slightly cliché, but it is easy to overlook this. However, a small point that stuck with me is that there is some amount of repetition of certain points in different places. It feels as though the author is trying to ensure that the reader has understood quite clearly and sometimes it becomes a little annoying. This doesn’t take away the focus on the story and the reader should just persist on and enjoy the journey. Overall, this is a rather enjoyable read and would be loved by everyone who enjoys this genre.
