This review is for the audiobook version of The Girl On The Train. I’ve had mixed feelings about this book. I had to stop listening to it because the narrators were getting on my nerves, but then picked it back up to try again. They still bothered me, but the story got better, and the end was somehow both exciting and predictable simultaneously. As others have noted, the narrators are all unreliable, as are the accounts we get from those they interact with. This novel […]
Journal of Meh
Sarah Gladstone knew a bad storm was coming and so she goes to stay with her mother in the small town of Sunbury. The storm turned out to be worse than expected and the town is cut off from the outside world with floods, downed trees, no electricity or cell towers. This is key because during the clean up, they learn that someone has broken into the priest’s home, tossed the place and the priest is nowhere to be found. However, journals–tons of them are […]
Didn’t like it then, now I do. It’s magic!
If you read my reviews regularly, you’ll probably know how much I love The Dresden Files, but that I initially didn’t like it very much, to the point where I gave up after reading book three way back in 2009. I just didn’t think the series was for me. That I thought that at the time is alternately hilarious and horrifying. I almost didn’t pick this series back up, and so I almost missed out on what has turned out to be more and more […]
Gilley needs to be smacked
MJ and her husband Heath return from vacation to find a cursed dagger is missing from their safe. Turns out their friend Gilley loaned it to a museum because Gilley lacks sense. Gilley is terrified of the supernatural and yet thinks it’s perfectly okay to loan a cursed dagger to a museum. Naturally, the dagger is stolen from the museum, the ghost/demon inside of the dagger is set free and a museum worker is killed. Nice work, Gilley! Oh, but the fun has only just […]
Ahhh Buck This Book
Are you a fan of Carl Hiaasen? So am I. I am a total sucker for ridiculous characters with a ridiculous backdrop of Florida where wacky and zany things happen. But much like a Sour Patch Kid, I can’t handle too much Hiaasen at once. No, I have to read a book here or there, chuckle at it, forget it, and grab another one in the future. I mention this because Buck Fever has a couple things going for it (in theory). One, our author […]
Maybe she’s a cylon
I’m so glad I dove right into this one after finishing In The Woods. I liked them both, but The Likeness is a touch stronger in terms of writing and I loved the story. Cassie Maddox gets pulled into a murder investigation after a body is found who looks just like her. Everyone working the case is spooked by their eerie similarities, but things only get weirder when they find out she’s been living under one of Cassie’s old undercover aliases, Lexie Madison. Lexie was […]
