Paint by Murders #1 by Amanda Jaeger
4.0
4.5 stars!
Paint by Murders is the first book I've read from author Amanda Jaeger, and it won't be the last one.
To be honest, I wasn't sure I would enjoy this book all that much. The pre-publication blurb sounded interesting, but with the main character being a young female student I assumed it would me more of a Young Adult story than a gripping mystery / thriller.
One day I'll learn to stop assuming things...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Sucked in from the prologue, it was hard to put down. Creepy and dark at times (in that good way), the characters were well-developed (maybe just a *smidge* more development would be good) and the story held my interest up to, and beyond, the last page.
Beyond the last page? Yes, this is the first book in a series, and I'm looking forward to the next books.
Paint by Murders is well worth losing a little sleep over. Believe me, you're going to stay up too late flipping pages.
Appreciate the ARC from the author!
