The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

4.0

Recently, one of my friends asked me what I was currently reading and I excitedly exclaimed "The Shining Girls!". Of course they then prompted me to tell them what it was about. I found myself saying "It has time travel, a serial killer and a girl who survived an attack on her life..." I had to stop myself because frankly, I am not able to adequately explain this book without making it sound odd and off kilter. It is not your traditional murder/mystery serial killer/plucky heroine story...but it works! I couldn't stop reading it...and at times it seriously creeped me out! If you like this genre and are not afraid to dabble outside of your normal reading comfort zone...give this one a try! I loved it and am eager to read more from this author!
