Dead Girls

I love a good, gripping mystery and/or an edge of your seat thriller. Unfortunately, Dead Girls was neither. The blurb sounded so promising, and I got that our protagonist was suffering from some confusion and memory loss from her attack, However, when you have a main character that is already confused, a convoluted story may not be the best way to go. Between info dump style paragraphs, convos with little to no clarification as to who is speaking, and abrupt scene changes, it all became a jumbled mess. Add in the many characters and so much going on, and the effort it took to keep up with it all became more work than enjoyment. Thankfully, the story isn't overly lengthy, and while I considered giving up several times, I did finish in hopes that things would improve. In my humble opinion, they did not, and if I had to sum it up in one word, I would say busy - Dead Girls is incredibly busy. The beauty of reading is what drove me to distraction with this one may well be the very things that make someone else fall in love with it. So, if it sounds like your kind of thing, by all means, give it shot.
