Dead Girl Running is a strange amalgam of intriguing premise and plot holes. Another book with a backstory inserted bit by bit into the main plot, Dead Girl Running had me alternating between suspenseful sections and confusion because not everything quite fit together.I have three confessions to make:
1. I've got the scar of a gunshot on my forehead.
2. I don't remember an entire year of my life.
3. My name is Kellen Adams...and that's half a lie.
After a prologue that didn't appeal to me, I became involved with the characters and plot, only to pull up sharp several times with a "huh?" Nevertheless, the suspense kept me intrigued until the last 20% of the book that just got too weird.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't quite make it work, but that's just me. Others really liked it.
DeleteWell, I like the three confessions, they would pull me in. I'll take your word for the rest of the story.
ReplyDelete:) It was the three confessions that caught my attention as well, but then...."
DeleteSorry this one didn't quite work. I hate when you hope for something better and then it all goes bad or disappoints at the end.
ReplyDeleteI kept going back and forth on this one, but the last bit was too much for me.
DeleteThis one is one I've been kinda looking forward to -- that blurb is way too interesting to pass up!
ReplyDeleteJust one woman's opinion, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. The blurb was too tempting for me, too. :)
DeleteThe three confessions certainly grabbed my attention. It's too bad though the book didn't work for you overall. I can't remember if I have this one on my to read list. I kind of hope not. LOL
ReplyDeleteA lot of readers on Goodreads loved it, but it got too weird for me.
DeleteThe three confessions sure grab my attention but a disappointment that this book didn't work out well.
ReplyDeleteIt is suspenseful, but...in the end, I wasn't on board.
DeleteI think I may have this one on my Kindle so I'll have to remember to keep my expectations in check!
ReplyDeleteYou may like it, and I would like to know your thoughts--either way. :)
