The Dead Girls Club
by Damien Angelica Walters
The Dead Girls Club is an upcoming thriller / horror coming-of-age novel. I loved the setup of this book - it's about a group of girls growing up who get involved in a witchy story, and it switches back and forth between the main character in the present (as an adult) and past.
While I loved the idea of this book, I didn't really connect to the story. It never really dug in deep to the characters, and they all seemed sort of interchangeable. The main character makes odd choices, and it wasn't easy to connect with her. I kept rolling my eyes at things she did, and some of it just didn't make sense. It's easier to accept that when you feel like you know the characters, but it never really went past the surface.
I liked the dramatic format of the reader knowing what happened, and having the story play out leading up to it. The problem with this was that the adult chapters didn't have the same suspense and drama as the childhood chapters, so I felt like I had to slog through them to get back to the actual story.
There are a couple other things I can't say without spoiling anything, so I'm going to stop here. This book had all the pieces for something I should love, but it never really fit together for me. I still liked it while I was reading, and was curious about what was going to happen, so I would definitely try another novel by the author.
