From The Ashes (was Free Friday book)

[moose_tracker]

Have any of you read the Free Friday book "From the Ashes" that was offered a few weeks back?

I am trying to get into it, and just can't make up my mind to continue, or give up..

I am not putting down the book at all, just I am unsure it meets my tastes in books.

What roped me in was a hint it was similar to an Indiana Jones story. I enjoy a good mystery, murder, and high adventure. But, even though like a good murder novel, I am not so into the blood,gore, and torture discriptive books.  Murder books, normally set up the body found without having to take you descriptively through the agony of death. Or a murder seen, but not too bloody, and normally not real descriptive.

So with "From the Ashes" Chapter 1.. two descriptive murders through eyes of murder.. Chapter 2.. more murders a little more 3rd person though.. Chapter 3.. Another descriptive murder..  Chapter 4.. Maybe some Indiana Jones like (archeologist, kindof free spirit)..  Chapter 5.. Another descriptive murder, through eyes of victim..  Chapter 6.. Descriptive murder through eyes of killer..

For someone who loves blood & guts and getting into the mind of killers, and living through the minds of murder victims.. Great book (just not my style)..  I am just still clinging to "this will end soon..."  "This is all just set up that these are really bad guys.. Ok.. got it, let's move on",  "Soon it will get to the Indiana Jones Storyline"..

But, for anyone who has read it, or is further along then I, should I just give up? Is this really not the book for me?

I haven't read the book yet, but please consider putting this is the book review. This is good information that  will help others to decide if they want to buy the book or no in the future.

From the Ashes  I read this book and the killing does ease up! I wasn't wild about the start of the book, but it does get better as it goes. I can't remember if I wrote a review on this one or not or I'd send you there. It has been a few weeks and a few books ago!

Thanks,  I have shuffled through (I'm a slow reader about 10 pages then I fall asleep.) So I am a little over 100 pages in, and it does seem to have settled into the story. So there's hope that I will be able to enjoy it now.
