Ellen blames Kieran for her son’s death. So, she kills him. Imagine her surprise when she sees him two years later standing on a nearby building. Surprise soon turns to murderous rage as Ellen decides to kill Kieran again in The Heights.
I usually love this author’s books. However, The Heights is an exception. Ellen is a totally unlikeable and unrealistic character. We are in her messed-up brain for over half the book. And that slows the pacing to a crawl. By the time the action started happening, I really didn’t care. Overall, a miss for me. 2.5 stars.
Thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
