I was approved to receive an e-Galley ARC of Smithy, authored by Amanda Desiree, from NetGalley and the publisher Inkshares for review consideration. What follows below is my honest review, freely given; I am thankful for the opportunity.
I rated this novel 3 stars. My eldest son had learned of Koko and her ability to communicate by using sign language from his school. He had me look up videos of her and watched them intently. I think that is partially the reason this title grabbed my attention, but the unique summary made me request it for review.
I just imagine the seventies as this rogue time for experimentation, recreational and scientifically; declassified information has kept this theory afloat. Rival schools trying to raise primates to use sign language, to have them communicate spontaneously and organically seems completely believable.
Having things presented in journal and video form lent a morbid note to the whole book. I was constantly wondering if any of these characters were dead later in the book, and if I was listening to basically 'found footage' from a horrible event.

Ultimately so much of this story frustrated me. After a while I found it irritating that the house seemed oblivious to the otherness going on; being a student of science does not make you blind to things happening right in front of you, with video evidence! I had trouble separating the female characters at times, though that may be a me only problem. The story felt like it was building towards this crest, several times, only to recede.
There was this perfectly written scene of horror, with almost no fanfare going into it. For me, it made the book worth it all, even the parts that fell flat, this whole part is simply magical and right. I thought it was a pivot for the novel. That it was going to come together, stop the hinting, teasing feeling that had taken over the book for me. No such luck.
I think that for me this gave the illusion of having a more solid ending than it really gave; not a fan of that. I also had trouble with a house full of so many people, not one would change their thinking a little earlier in the novel?
