Review: Exit

Image
Exit by Belinda Bauer My rating: 4 of 5 stars My favorite mystery novels are character-driven stories where there happens to be a mystery in the novel. This story by Belinda Bauer accomplishes the rare feat of being an interesting plot and character driven story. There's a reasonably convoluted plot that unravels in pieces but there's also deep and interesting character studies in this story. It's also really fast paced. Accomplishing all that in a single novel is quite hard. I really enjoyed this one. View all my reviews

Review: Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily R. Austin My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 stars. This book is a lot darker and drearier than the blurb would have you believe. Dry humor isn't usually my thing which is maybe why I didn't find it hilarious at all. For most of the story, Gilda is depressed and not feeling her feelings which makes it hard for the reader to feel any feelings. Despite all that, I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed each of the characters. I think this book was actually an accurate representation of what it might feel like if the main character is depressed. Most of the books make that feel like there are big negative feelings, even though it's usually an absence of feelings. It's just that reading a book with the main character in that state is hard to enjoy. with gratitude to netgalley and Artia books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Review: The 22 Murders of Madison May

Image
The 22 Murders of Madison May by Max Barry My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love Max Barry. I've loved reading his books since Jennifer Government and Lexicon and I think it will be hard for me not to enjoy a book by him because I really like his writing style and his clever mind. This book was no exception. I have read many books that contain the multiverse theory over the last few years so the parallel universes part of the book wasn't novel to me. But the idea of a serial killer going through each universe and hunting down the same girl was definitely an interesting twist. This is a fast-paced novel as all of Barry's other ones. It's hard to put down once you start it and even though it contained more violence and less character development than I'd prefer, I really enjoyed my time with it. with gratitude to netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
