Make it make sense.....I was really enjoying this book until about 75%. This was fast paced and I really looked forward to finding out what happened and who-dun-it. This had some good twists in it, and I breezed through this in 2 days. It held my attention all the way through and it wasn't until the end that I was left with SO MANY QUESTIONS...

I really thought Geo was going to be the killer. But once it was revealed that Geo had given a baby up for adoption and this child would be a teenager by now, it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on. But after everything was revealed, I was left feeling slightly cheated. Dominic ends up being the 2nd serial killer, ok, I get that, but why would he kill his other fathers children and then say that he did it to hurt his mother??? These kids were his half siblings by other mothers. How would this hurt Geo?? Make it make sense? And what are the actual odds that the serial killer father that broke out of prison would actually come back at the exact moment when the son is trying to rape his mother? Calvin is now the hero? What? And when it's revealed that Geo is actually the one that chopped up her best friends body so it could be buried, Calvin is the one vomiting from disgust? I thought he was a total narcissist asshole that got off on controlling Geo? This plot had good bones but quickly fell apart for me at the end.

I don't know how I feel about this book. The dynamics of a rock band in the 70's felt very well developed, but the 5 band mates that were not daisy and billy were really left out of the plot. They were mostly a prop to support the idea of a band. The first half of the book was about rising to fame and EXCESSIVE drug use. It was so cliche I was bored. The second half was better, but the ending was pretty flat for me. 

A 17 year old girl's parents die and her step-uncle, that she's never met, calls her out of the blue to ask her if she wants to come and stay with him and his 2 twenty something year old sons in an isolated cabin in the mountains.  And I get creepy pedo vibes from the uncle who is in his late 40s. This girl is 17 and goes to live in a cabin in the woods with 3 grown men. I am not ok with this. It DOESNT matter that they aren't biologically related. It's just wrong. She is a child! No just no. DNF at chapter 4. 

I love the tv series based on this book so I thought I'd give the book a try. The book us almost always better than the movie, right? No. I liked the book but I didn't love it. The tv series was VERY loosely based on the book. It wasn't anything like I had expected. There were not as many characters in the book as in the tv show. The book was a little dry for my taste. There wasn't much of a story to base a whole novel on.

Girl, what is wrong with you? Unplug the landline, it's not that serious! The end was satisfying but the plot was pretty unrealistic. If you have a cell phone, do you rally even need a landline. If I kept getting creeper calls that freaked me out so much that I felt like I was losing my sanity, UNHOOK the phone FFS! Seriously! And I knew there was going to be gaslighting heavily involved in the plot. Very predictable. If there was no plot twist then what a boring story! Of course it couldn't have just been early onset dementia.
