Three Reasons You Should Read This Romantic Thriller:
- Rattlesnake Road by Amanda McKinney is a very gritty, but quite sweet at times, romantic thriller.
- I don’t usually put warnings here – but there are a couple of scenes that I found difficult to read – so please read the author’s warning before starting.
- The suspense and mystery kind of creep up on you, then fade away until you almost forget them before jumping back out again. It was an interesting way of presenting the plot, but I really enjoyed it.

My review of Rattlesnake Road:
Rattlesnake Road by Amanda McKinney was not what I expected. And before I get too far, pay attention to the author’s warning. While some are overdone, this book definitely needs it, so read with caution.
It starts out innocently enough, with Grey Dalton running from the city and her terrible life there. She buys a house on Rattlesnake Road, sight unseen, and starts to clean it up and start over. The people of Berry Springs are incredibly welcoming, especially the older lady in her flashy tracksuits and ATVs that likes to bake cookies. Yes, please. Can I have one of them live down the way from me?
The new house isn’t too bad, but her far away neighbor, Declan, points out some things that need to be done. But there’s also this rich developer poking around trying to buy up all the land in the area. Both men give off some serious danger vibes, but Grey’s mental state isn’t the best, so she doubts all the warnings she picking up at first.
Then she finds some really creepy old letters (trigger warning here) and discovers a girl was murdered nearby and no one knows who did it. With all these stories drifting around, Amand McKinney does a great job of weaving them together in a way that forms mostly complete cloth.I felt like there was a little bit of a cop-out plot point towards the end, but overall, a very well-written book.
