Even though time travel can be difficult to make sense of, and despite the kindle making it harder to easily flip back and forth between chapter headings, I was enthralled enough to rarely put down the book in the day and a half I read it.
Another book about a serial killer in Chicago. However, this one can travel through time through a mysterious house. The book was okay, but just did not work for me and I don't think I'd recommend it. I felt the book was a bit too convoluted and while it was a great premise, it didn't work.
Harper Curtis is a dirt bag. Stumbling through a pretty meager existence, Harper comes across a house that can take him through time and surprise, surprise; he enjoys his trips to the future. As with all things that can be considered “too good too be true”, there is a catch. If Harper wants to co...
Did you ever see the move Amityville Horror? Not the 2005 movie (suck it Hollywood), but the 1979 one. OK, maybe not the best analogy, but the house is just f'd up. It's just wrong. No explanations, no science or pseudo-science, it just is. This house takes people and turns them into horrors. I...
I met Lauren two years ago now, when she was running a class on writing (d'uh). This first sentence of the review is essentially a name drop... move along, nothing to see here.The Shining Girls is such an interesting take on crime novels, with a wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey*, plot and some fascinatin...
I liked this book quite a bit, devouring it in two days. I did not feel that the Kirby chapters had the same importance or urgency as the other points of view until the very end--they did help me to care about her as a character, but they felt draggy and tedious at times (especially the scenes that ...
The Shining Girls sounds at first like a bad mash up of Doctor Who and CSI, and while there was great potential for camp, the brutal violence and suspense avoids that pitfall. Kirby has survived a brutal attack (and animal lovers might want to just skim the chapter that describes her actual attem...
This is a tense, creepy, and well assembled puzzle box of a book. I'm not generally a fan of mysteries, but I picked this book up with rather high expectations because a) I thought the premise of a time traveling serial killer was really intriguing and b) I quite enjoyed Beukes' book Zoo City, and w...
This book had a great premise, but the tag line is more exciting than anything that actually happens in the book. It was kind of boring, and while I'm fine without pages and pages of exposition, a LITTLE explanation wouldn't have gone astray.Mostly just a police procedural, and there's a reason I do...
