Legal thrillers aren’t really my favorite. Tried to read this because I liked the premise of it but it wasn’t nearly as interesting as I’d hoped it would be.

My Darkest Prayer by S.A. Cosby

Some of the reviews I read before mentioned the amount of sex scenes mentioned in this book kind of spoiled it. I should say I’m not opposed to sex scenes in books as long as they’re tasteful and relevant. This was not that. While I will admit that I read at least the first 55 pages-I also skim read several others in the interim and now I agree 100% with the reviews I read beforehand. A bit too much sex and it seems they were just for the sake of them being sex scenes-a bit of a disappointment considering how much I loved his book Razorblade Tears!!

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

I liked the horror aspect of it but it was a bit too confusing with the verbiage the author used and hard to tell what was happening in real time and what was a flashback.
