Cat Lady by Dawn O'Porter
3.0
It was pretty ridiculous and insulting in a lot of places, but if it was based in reality it wouldn’t be ‘book worthy’
A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. Olson
2.5
It all started to fall apart in the last third. A much better twist would have been if the killer was August , - but eh I’m not an author. The pacing was all over the place and people were over sharing/ over explaining - what happened to show don’t tell? It got really really dark in places (first visit to the attic and Bertram) but then never delivered on that promise. The ‘villain’ motivation/explanation was so…weird and weak it was like the author knew it was stupid but had written herself into a corner. It is YA I suppose, but pretty disappointing.
Mrs Death Misses Death by Salena Godden
5.0
Wow. Wowowowowowow. What a strange, incredible story. Listening to the author narrate this story was honestly the best way to read this. I love a weird story, but this was so poignant and weird and funny and horrible and sad and beautiful - I’m so glad I listened/read this - what an incredible way to end my year!
