Pretty Dead Queens by Alexa Donne
2.0
Pretty Dead Queens has a lot of potentially and I’m just not sure I’m the right audience for it - I think a younger audience will eat it up and that it will do well in school and Public libraries.
The main character feels a bit full of herself and inauthentic, which I think is what turns me off with this one so much. Her life just seems to fall into place without single issue and that just doesn’t feel real? It feels the main character doesn’t actually experience any of the struggles you would typically expect and it seems things are a little too perfect.
The killer was incredibly predictable which made it less than fun and didn’t give me much of a reason to keep reading. While this wasn’t my favorite book and it definitely had its problems it still was a lot of fun all things considered and will likely do really well!
