7 Brides for 7 Bodies by Stephanie Bond
2.0
Rice cakes. That's the only description I can give this book. Rice cakes. They're food substance but bland. No one I know says, 'oh can you grab me some rice cakes when you're at the store.' And I'd have to say the same with this book. It is a book, but it's bland.
By page 10 I knew I was in trouble. Carlotta Wren's life is nothing but drama. It seems like she can't even go to a store without drama happening. Her baby brother is an ungrateful sod and her best friend (Hannah) is a clichéd character from countless TV shows I've seen. In fact, the story line of Carlotta's fugitive father coming back to save her (that's where the book starts...I'm assuming book 6 ended with it) was like an ode to the season of Bones where her father came back to save her and her brother.
By page 100 I just started flipping through to see who the murderer was. Unfortunately the mystery never really took off and my interest was never piqued. Ms. Bond’s writing style is what kept me reading. If only the story and plot could have been as good as her writing.
