In Their Footsteps / Thief Of Hearts by Tess Gerritsen
3.0
Both of these novels leaned more towards romance than horror/thriller, which was definitely misleading considering the cover. I was ready for people to be bleeding from the freaking eye sockets but alas nothing of the sort happened.
In Their Footsteps wasn't a bad short story - it had an engaging backstory, the plot moved quickly, and the two main characters were capable and intelligent. The ending was actually surprising! but logical based on all of the clues given to us.
Thief of Hearts was a whole other ballgame.... Clea was self-depreciating to the point I almost quit the book twice. The improbability of most of the story was quite high lol and I rolled my eyes at EVERYTHING. I was annoyed that nothing about the story made any sense but mustered through.
Disappointing for my Spook-tober but now it can go to someone else's home who will enjoy it more than I did.
