The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters

4.0

The Dead Girls Club was gift from a friend and I’m glad he introduced me to a new author! The book revolves around Heather, a child psychologist with a secret in her past. She used to be a member of The Dead Girls Club with her three friends; they would discuss serial killers and spooky stories. When Becca, Heather’s best friend, tells them the story of the Red Lady, they’re all afraid. Becca becomes obsessed and The Red Lady becomes more than a story, something that none of them can escape. This obsession costs Becca her life and forces Heather to keep a terrible secret. Now the Red Lady returns to haunt Heather as an adult when she begins to receive childhood items relating to Becca in the mail and swears that someone is watching her. Someone knows what Heather did.

This books brought back memories of sleepovers with friends, playing Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board and timidly trying to summon Bloody Mary in bathroom mirrors. It takes those memories and chills them with a back of forth of them/now chapters that slowly unfold what happened and how Heather unravels in present day. Walters has a talent for macabre. An enjoyable read that makes me interested in more of her work.
