Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin
2.0
Saint X tells a "story" of a young privileged white girl that mysterious dies on vacation with her family.
What I loved:
I kept waiting for the big reveal or the truth bomb
What I didn't love:
Please see section above - "what I loved" LOL
REVIEW -
Writing/Ease of Reading: 2/5
tbh - the writing was hard to follow and at times I felt like I was reading from two different authors. There were times where the the author was very descriptive and other times where it was very bland.
Plot: 2/5
The premise was great, but I would have preferred a different style of execution personally.
Character Development: 1/5
I wanted to care about the characters... any of them, but it just didn't jive for me and I didn't end up caring about any of the characters.
Pace: 2/5
The pace of the book had good moments where I just wanted to keep reading, but it also felt like you were running in place.
Level of Invulgence: 2/5
It had good moments and I really wanted to know what happened to Allison...
Ending: 1/5
I feel like this book was teasing me the entire time and I was left with some major blue balls. This one didn't work for me personally - but if I will say that this book goes well into the details of "murder for entertainment".
