Dead Girl Running (Original) | Christina Dodd
18 posts | 16 read | 21 to read
I have three confessions to make: 1. I've got the scar of a gunshot on my forehead.2. I don't remember an entire year of my life.3. My name is Kellen Adams...and that's half a lie.Girl running...from a year she can't remember, from a husband she prays is dead, from homelessness and fear. Tough, capable Kellen Adams takes a job as assistant manager of a remote vacation resort on the North Pacific Coast. There, amid the towering storms and the lashing waves, she hopes to find sanctuary. But when she discovers a woman's dead and mutilated body, she's soon trying to keep her own secrets while investigating first one murder...then another. Now every guest and employee is a suspect. Every friendly face a mask. Every kind word a lie. Kellen's driven to defend her job, her friends and the place she's come to call home. Yet she wonders--with the scar of a gunshot on her forehead and amnesia that leaves her unsure of her own past, could the killer be staring her in the face?

Did a little grocery shopping on my own today so I had to stop into the Halloween section to see what new trinket I could bring home. Just LOOK at these!!! These adorable little guys were just screaming to come home with me 😍

Yes, along with all my skeletons, this unnerving couple will be named and have a home on my horror shelf all year round!

jdiehr How fun is that?! 3y
RainyDayReading Love those! 3y
FantasyChick @jdiehr @RainyDayReading I HAD to have them! I'm not normally big on ornaments just for the sake of having them but these were too good to pass up! A little kitsch doesn't hurt anyone 😅 3y

The hubs and I gave ourselves a night away with an acoustic Pop Evil show in Lansing, which was fantastic but more importantly I broke my December reading slump with Dead Girl Running! On to Survive The Night!

Harlequin's Reader Service book haul. The first two were free, and I tried them again, for $30 I got 4 books, not bad. Funny enough, I have been dying to read Christina Dodd's Dead Girl Running for the longest and she was one of the free books I received, yay!

Marie Force- Fatal Invasion
Heather Graham- A Dangerous Game
Christina Dodd- Dead Girl Running
B. J. Daniels- Luck of the Draw
Karen Robards- The Ultimatum
Jude Deveraux- A Willing Murder

Oy. This book suffers from trying to be too many things and from having too many storylines. Kellen manages a resort. She‘s ex-Army. Except her name is not Kellen. Once she was an abused wife. Once at another point in time she lost a year of her memories to a gunshot wound. Now she‘s unofficially investigating a murder. And a smuggling ring. And there are many, many suspects and people who act suspicious. Convoluted and silly. 😳👎🏼

Erinreadsthebooks Oh my 😳 It's like every idea on the brainstorming sheet made it into the book. 6y
MicheleinPhilly BONUS STORY WITH ALL OF THE TROPES/PLOTLINES I DIDN‘T USE INCLUDED! 6y
Bookgirl @Erinreadsthebooks yes! Even more than I listed - there are also 2 romance subplots. @MicheleinPhilly I didn‘t read the extra story. I‘m not even sure why I finished the main story 6y

Starting a new book before I go to bed and this little friend jumped in my lap - a very rare occurrence as #Lucy is more of a scaredy cat than a snuggle buddy. Hoping it‘s a good omen for a good book! #catsoflitsy #petsoflitsy #lucy #readingatbedtime

A convoluted plot with way too many strings but writing was suspenseful.
