March Mini Musings
Bad Girls Don't Die: This was a so-so, fairly quick YA supernatural read. I listened to the audiobook. The only reason I picked it up was I kept seeing it on the shelf at my kid's middle school book fair. Honestly, it was kind of forgettable. It's the first in a trilogy, but I seriously have no desire read the other two.
Murder Beyond the Grave: I have always likes real crime books. In this volume, there were two murder stories. Each one was interesting and sad at the same time. I'm not sure I loved the dramatization of the stories, but it was a quick read and kept me engaged. There are a few other volumes in the this series, so I'll be checking them out soon.
Haunted Nights: This anthology has 16 never before published short stories. For me, this was a mixed bag of creepy and boring stories. It's definitely not one to read all the way through in one sitting. The stories tended to blend together after a while. The one that I thought was the creepiest was "Dirtmouth" by Stephen Graham Jones. There is something in here for everyone.
I've been a James Patterson fan for years, but I've never read any of his true crime stuff. Have you read his fiction? If so, how do the two compare?
ReplyDeleteI would say they are pretty similar. Even though these were true crime, they read like fiction.
