It really was just eh. I LOVE the side characters, but Apollo brings these books down. Bonus points to the big battle.

 Still don't love Apollo. Some very upsetting but quite good developments make this one a standout for better or worse.

Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis

4.5

 What Ellis accomplishes with Dead Girl Walking is unmatched in the genre, that genre being Slashers. A novel made for both adults and teens a like who love amazing queer characters, and well-developed plots. I've read a few of these in the past few years and this one stood out. If it's the gory shocking kills, or the twists that keep on coming. Everything I love about slashers on the page.

The story follows Temple as she goes back to the home, she swore she'd never return to, for a man she hates. Her father is an infamous serial killer, and now confessed to her that he killed her mother and left her body there. The farm has now changed to a queer horror-obsessed girl's camp. So, the meta element is so good as well.

The rep is so good here and for people looking for a romance less novel this one is for you. I couldn't recommend Dead Girls Walking fast enough and I hope it becomes an overnight hit.
