This was a very hard book to read, but good. The depictions in this book is so real, it feels like you are experiencing them as they develope. Some may not be able to get through this book, but, if you can, you are in for a good read. Thanks to NetGalley, the authror and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest reveiw. Receiving this book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

DNF - I really struggled with this one. It was a little too dark for my liking and not quite the emotional drama or even sci fi experience that I might have expected from the description. There was not thrill only tedius details and heavy at that without much meaning it felt.

I had high hopes for this one and I just...couldn't do it. I was interested at first, but I wasn't able to finish it -- I was expecting a thriller, and it was just a graphic depiction of drug use, among other strange things. I don't have a weak stomach when it comes to graphic stories, but this whole thing was just too much for me. DNF.

Not All Migrate is an amazing dark read. I loved everything about it, from the heavy drug use, the deplorable lifestyles, and the descent into madness. By the end, I felt myself craving more and more. The illustrations throughout the book add greatly to the story at just the right moments as well as adding a haunting feeling to already dark times. The author does an amazing job as to showing why and how a person can become heavily addicted to drugs and frankly shows a lifestyle that most people are too scared to even think about. This book will challenge you, no matter how open minded you are. That's what art is suppose to do. This book is a beautifully, sometimes disturbing, piece of art that makes me want more.

This just was t for me. I struggled through the first half, pushing myself through it. Hoping it got better. It didn’t. I skimmed the second half. The ending, was just pointless and dumb. As a matter of fact the whole thing was pointless. Not my cup of tea, and I tried, I really did. One star for getting published.



I will not be posting this review to my blog or any other of my social media sites. Very disappointed.

Thank you to SFK Press and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The unvarnished truth? There are no words to express how much I hated this book. The beginning was very jarring, and then it was a swift descent into hell. I have no interest in reading pages upon pages of people drugged to their eyeballs and trying to hold "conversations", search frantically for their next fix, excrete bodily fluids upon each other, wade through squalor in their flats and lives... yuck.. I kept picking the book up and trying again, thinking it must move forward at some point. It didn't. So I eventually gave up and moved on, and was never so happy to leave a book behind.

DNF. I had to put this down. It started okay and was entertaining, but then it was a struggle to force myself to keep reading. It felt very choppy and all over the place. One particular scene where the MC has an.,,interaction with the drug dealer? Yeah, it was downhill after that. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mindset for it, I might try to pick it up again at a later date. For now just DNF.

This book definitely not for the soft-hearted and those who expect HEA ending with all questions answered.

Opened with scene that will remind us on people with mental illness and tragic accidents later on, then we followed how Mark, the husband, was grieving and spiralling into a bad-worse - worst path. Intend to uncover the cause of his family's death, Mark was trapped into new drugs and the persons behind it.

The ending is unexpected, but somehow it's satisfying and I could relate that not every questions in our life will be answered and how we must be cautious in seeking said answered.

Thank you netgalley for providing the arc.

This book is interesting to say the least. Unfortunately, just not for me, and I wish I had known that going in.

This book is about a man named Mark who has just lost his wife and two daughters in a car accident. When the autopsy report comes back, the doctors tell him that his wife had had an unknown drug present in her system at the time of death, which prompts Mark to look into the drug, why his wife was on it, and who had sold it or given it to her in the first place. This sounded extremely intriguing to me, but instead of being suspenseful or realistic, this book was straight-up strange.

To start, we never get any information on what kind of man Mark was before losing his family other than the fact he worked a lot of long hours at his corporate job. While it is understandable that he would change after the tragedy he experiences, it becomes unfathomable that his new personality or behaviors could ever resemble the hard-working family man he supposedly was before. All of the other characters in the book are even less-developed than Mark, so I was not invested in any of them.

The second and biggest problem I have with this book is that Mark is supposed to be searching for answers about his wife's death and the mysterious drug she was on... and yet once he finds out, he becomes an addict himself and loses sight completely of what he's looking for in the first place. (Not a spoiler, this addiction part is essentially the entire book). I just don't get it, or believe it.

While this book was very much NOT for me, it is possible that someone else could find it entertaining because of the out-of-the box storyline and graphic drug experiences. I just warn that if you are looking for a more traditional man-hunts-for-wife's-killer thriller, this is not it.
