The Dead Girls Club

Solid. I liked this book; I just wish I loved it. The premise is fantastic - I do adore a nice, creepy ritual, and there's one here that's to die for. This story has a great set up, but one that never quite delivers what you want it to. There's so much potential here but, sadly, some of that potential goes unrealized. It's not a failure - it just isn't a complete success.

Its really the tale of two books. The chapters set in the past are eerie and captivating horror. I loved them! The ones set in the present, however, are a mixed bag. At times they're tight, tense mystery; others they just feel a bit tedious, and leave you dying to get back to the more interesting past.

Overall I had a decent experience with this one, and I look forward to seeing what else this author has to offer. I just feel like this book was a little to the left of what I wanted it to be.
