The Dead Girls Club

The Dead Girls Club was released by Crooked Lane Books on December 10, 2019. It was written by Damien Angelica Walters. I was given a free copy through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

=====================================================================

Synopsis from Goodreads (It was too good to summarize myself)

Red Lady, Red Lady, show us your face...

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real--and she could prove it.

That belief got Becca killed.

It's been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night--that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She's done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died.

The night Heather killed her.

Now, someone else knows what she did...and they're determined to make Heather pay.

Y'ALL. I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS BOOK. I finished it in less than 24 hours. It was so incredibly good. This took me back to being a kid and the days of Bloody Mary and sneaking horror movies to watch way too young. It was CREEPY. It was FANTASTIC. It made me so uneasy at times. Walters sets up her descriptions so well. If you have an active imagination like I do, you may find that you creep yourself out by going too far in your imagination. The ending shattered me. I started to suspect something bad was coming, but it's just so incredibly gut-wrenching.

This book could not have been more geared towards my interests. I loved the idea of this book so much I actually bought the hardcover copy before I ever read the digital one. Now I just need Damien Angelica Walters to put out a hundred more books, just as creepy as this one. This left me with such a book hangover and I don't regret one minute of it. I wish I could forget everything about this book so I could read it again for the first time.

No brainer on this one. ALL THE STARS.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.

Wine or Lose by Amanda Chaperon

I was so freaking disappointed by this book. I bought the alternate covers (which are absolutely stunning) at Romance Con and I expected to read about (PER THE AUTHOR) small town charm, office rivals to lovers, and a happily ever after. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t feel like I got any of that. The first problem lies within the setup of the relationship. Amara and Cal meet in a club, fall in love after like 2 hours, and go back to his place before Amara realizes that Cal is the new CFO that her dad just hired for their family’s winery. He calls her a party princess, she storms out, and fast forward to five years later, when they’re both still holding onto that. How have you seriously not gotten over that one interaction in the span of FIVE YEARS? Second, Cal hates women. You can’t convince me otherwise. When he was trying to prevent Amara’s father from giving her the company, he ONLY talked to her father, shook his hand, and plead his case with him. He paid no attention to ...
