Jacob's Ladder

Interesting premise. I was hoping for more description of what the world is like at this point in time, but what was there was very creative. The "Old Sally" rain was awful sounding (in a good way!). A little hard to follow as there were many different small characters, and I wasn't sure in the end if the premise the main character had been chasing through the entire book was even real (not being more specific because I don't want to spoil anything). Had the potential to be a 5-star, but I won't read it again.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with the ARC. I was very intrigued by the premise of this book. I liked the author's writing style, however the characters were hard to keep up with at times and follow. Overall I thought this was a good idea and a good time! Will read more from this author in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Cameron Publicity for the opportunity to read and review #Jacob'sLadder.
An utterly unique and dark novel that is label young adult, but feels more new adult once I read it. It has a lot of science fiction aspects and leaves you feeling emotional at the end. It felt overwhelming to read at times due to the heavy nature of the world the author creates. I think it will find an audience with it's dark and unique subject matter. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I received an electronic ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.

I just wanted more from this story…in a good way. There were questions left unanswered and I am eagerly awaiting a second book. I think this story has so much potential and I can’t wait to see it grow. The characters are fantastically realistic. Likeable, unlikable and all flawed. I had a difficult time putting this down.

I definitely suggest checking Jacob’s Ladder out! It’s fast-paced and really consuming. Great read.

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.
