3.5 stars. I listened to the audiobook, which probably made me enjoy the book slightly less. I did not like the narrator as it made the book feel more one dimensional than it was.
I guessed at least one of the twists, but this was generally an enjoyable thriller ride despite some of the predictability.

This book wasn't good. Was not good.
It was a complete mess. The story was bland and Alex irritated me so bad.... It felt like I was stuck in. B rate movie.
I won't spoil it for you but I literally don't need much to enjoy a book but this one was painful
2 stars

I received an advance audiobook of "The Bachelorette Party" by Sandra Block, thanks to NetGalley and Highbridge Audio. The story follows Alex, who is on the brink of marriage but finds herself embroiled in an investigation involving the 666 killer. The narrative skillfully alternates between the past and present, maintaining a smooth flow throughout.
The book excels at keeping readers on their toes; just when I thought I had all the pieces figured out, a significant twist at the end completely took me by surprise. This fresh approach distinguished it from other books I've read, and I appreciated the clever pacing. However, despite the strong finish, some parts of the middle section felt somewhat underdeveloped and struggled to hold my attention fully. Overall, I enjoyed the book, especially how the author nailed the ending, which redeemed the earlier slower parts for me.

True crime aficionado Alex is headed out of town with two friends for her bachelorette party. Unbeknownst to her, the friends have booked the lodge where her current crime obsession/assignment took place. One cannabis induced nap later and Alex is running for her life away from the scene of a brutal crime that she may or may not have committed:
Readers can expect a number of twists and some unfinished plot points in this thriller. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital advanced copy.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sandra Block and Penzler Publishing for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This was good! I really thought I knew what was going to happen and man was I wrong. This was a wild ride that was totally unexpected and fast paced. I really enjoyed it and flew through it.

I found this book to be a little boring. It ended up being fairly predictable and even the big twist at the end wasn’t shocking to me at all. There were so many bits of the story that I think meant to add to the character but just made the storyline complicated. The characters didn’t feel very real or likable. Not the thriller I wanted.
I couldn't have asked for a more twisted story than "The Bachelorette Party." Alex's passion for serial killers adds thrilling excitement to the audiobook experience. Her friends deserve applause for infusing this eerie element into her celebration. As for the party itself, you'll have to wait and see how it all unfolds!
Sharing Alex's fascination with serial killers and haunted houses, I was as thrilled as she was about her bachelorette party. It's one of the most original and gripping ideas I've come across. The audiobook narrator's skill at building suspense and sending shivers down my spine at all the right moments is commendable. The ending, as twisted as a mountain road, is full of unexpected twists that keep you engaged. However, there was something that didn't quite click with me, and I'm still figuring out why it fell short of a five-star rating for me.
