review 1: This book managed to keep my attention despite not being a particularly enthralling story. There isn't much of the mystery left to the imagination, but there are enough new details thrown in throughout that it wasn't boring or tedious. As an aside, I listened to the audiobook of this book and I found the performers voices to be quite soothing, which may have accounted for some of why I enjoyed the book, despite its deficiencies. review 2: The Weight of Blood is an interesting novel told through multiple voices, which enhanced the deep storytelling. This novel was one I got on a whim from Netgalley and wound up loving. The characters were easy to listen to and the plot was quickly engaging. The mysterious disappearance of two women from the same town, but years ... moreapart, drew me in as something I needed to solve. As family ties became evident, the story grew even more page turning. It was interesting and sickening at the same time. While reading I felt twinges of hate, disgust, fear, and guilt. The fact that this book was able to pull those emotions to the surface but not be repulsive is commendable. This book is well written and well worth reading! less
