Book Review: Almost Mortal

 Book Review: Almost Mortal

By Christopher Leibig

Sam Young, a successful defense attorney emerging as one of the top in his field. But there is more to Sam then meets the eye. He has an ability; his thought was they were always minor psychic abilities but they are much more than that. 

When an attractive nun, Camille, approaches him for his help to discover the identity of a local serial killer after they confessed to the churches pastor of the crime, Sam agrees. But this mystery is much more than just figuring out who the killer is. 

When Camille gives Sam an old journal that was mailed to the church, her belief if that it belongs to the serial killer and might him discover the identity. But what is really being hidden? An identity of a killer or something much bigger? 

A legal and supernatural thriller, what more do you want? Almost Mortal is the first novel in Leibig's newest series. While this book was released in May 2016, the sequel Almost Damned released April 2021. 

I like thriller novels so when I was emailed being asked this one and the sequel I immediately said yes. I did find some of this novel to be slower as it is setting up the characters and environment of the story. To my understanding, this novel is to set up the sequel which goes into a lot more detail. 

I did think this novel was well written and I am intrigued to see how the second novel in the series continues the story. 

I gave this novel a ⭐⭐⭐ review! While the mystery kept me interested, I did think some of the development was slow. 

I was sent a physical copy in exchange for an honest review. 

Almost Damned, the sequel to Almost Mortal was released April 2021. Review to come!
