I've been a fan of Kristin Hannah since reading ON MYSTIC LAKE several years ago with my online book club, The Reading Cove.
Lately, her books have been hit or miss, but I enjoyed NIGHT ROAD. The beginning really pulled me into this unique triangle relationship and piqued my curiosity about what was going to go wrong and how Jude would factor into it.
But I felt it did have some flaws in the characterizations, like with Jude - at times she felt overdone, her husband Miles just a household prop. And the way Jude, Lexi and Zach evolved by the end...it got to be a bit cliché and banal in third act. I thought it could've been better written (more show, less tell) but overall it was a pretty interesting story line. I give it a B-.
