A review by mountie9
The Thirteen by Susie Moloney
3.0
The Good Stuff
Absolutely loved the dogs in this one, they had so much personality
Very dark and suspenseful
Fabulous character development for Marla, a character that could easily have been a caricature
Quite a few on the edge of your seat moments
Some nice humour added in just the right spots, made me want to pick up other books by the author for this alone
Fabulous cover - that chick really gives you the creeps!
Satisfying ending
Rowan and Paula were likeable characters, would have rather had the story only told from their point of view - think it would have been a far tighter story that way
The description from Goodreads really says it all ""Desperate Housewives" meets "The Witches of Eastwick"
The Not So Good Stuff
Think that author has a hate on for cats LOL!
A little too much animal and child nastiness for me personally - I'm a wee bit sensitive when children or animals are tortured
Jumps around a little and I was very confused at times about what was going on -- now this could also be because I am exhausted from lack of sleep and stress - so take this comment with a grain of salt
Way too many character point of views
Its uneven and I was very frustrated with how stupid some of the characters were in terms of their actions - really you didn't notice that no one else was in the hospital and than did nothing about it when you did find out
Favorite Quotes/Passages
"She stared at Glory sprawled on the grass, her mouth open in horror, then looked at the doll in her hand. It was covered in blood to the knees. Murder-Weapon Barbie."
"It was big news and it got around fast; even in those days before Twitter and Facebook, everyone seemed to know."
"There were really so many: shoes, lunch out, slow and quiet lovemaking in the morning, a glass of wine when you were cooking, fresh laundry, a laugh -
A person didn't need much. Not really. She wished she'd known that sooner."
Who Should/Shouldn't Read
Those looking for a fun, spooky story with witches
Good beach read
3.5 Dewey's
I received this from HarperCollins in exchange for an honest review
