#MurderFunding | Gretchen McNeil
17 posts | 12 read | 9 to read
WELCOME TO WHO WANTS TO BE A PAINIAC?, the latest reality TV show on the hunt for the next big-hit serial killer. But don't worry-no one is actually going to murder anyone, as real as the fake gore and pretend murder may appear . . . uh, right? Seventeen-year-old Becca Martinello is about to find out. When her perfectly normal soccer mom dies in a car crash, a strange girl named Stef appears and lets Becca know that her deceased mom was none other than one of Alcatraz 2.0's most popular serial killers-Molly Mauler. Soon, Becca ends up on Who Wants to Be a Painiac? to learn the truth about her mom's connection to Molly, but things turn sinister when people are murdered IRL. Will Becca uncover dark secrets and make it out of the deadly reality show alive? Or will she get cut?

This one wasn't quite as gripping as the first book, but it's still a pacy read with bodies dropping left, right & centre. There's also an enemies-to-lovers subplot & the original survivors pop up in several chapters which was nice as I didn't warm to the new characters in this one. 3.5🌟

TWs: graphic violence, death.

I got behind on my Top 2022 books (because I am not good at doing anything for myself when I am working). Anyway ...

This is my #February pick :)

Andrew65 This sounds interesting. (edited) 2y
ElizaMarie @Andrew65 It was perfect. I found the premise very different. And just what they call a “fun“ read. It also kind of takes the whole post-apocalyptic or just the weird future-type world differently. 2y

So good! I am gonna start book # 3 in a bit! (Part of my #ToDoList is it read for an hour -- so still staying productive!)

I like to have an #Audio, #GraphicNovel, a #Kindle and a #Physical book going at once, so that when I am ready to read or have time to read I have different avenues to do so. I am starting this one as my #PhysicalBook (in between cleaning/chores)

I definitely didn‘t enjoy this book as much as the first one. It just didn‘t keep me on the edge of my seat like the first book did from the very beginning. I also didn‘t really like the characters as much. I love this author and I would definitely keep reading the series to see where it goes, but this wasn‘t as great as #murdertrending.

BookDragonNotWorm I agree, #murdertrending was SO good, this one paled in comparison. 5y

3.5 🌟
This sequel introduces new characters Becca and Steff. Steff thinks that Becca‘s mother was Molly Mauler. They do this by joining a new production called Who wants to be a Paniac? The story is predictable the entire way through.
Overall I enjoyed this read, but I didn‘t love it like I did the first one. I will still recommend book 1 to loads of people, but book 2 not so much.

Not as good as the first, but still, a stellar follow up to what I suspect was originally intended to be a stand alone. A quick, fun read. Let's keep the #murder train going, October's still young!!!

LibrarianRyan I‘m currently 1/3 through. Hope to make it to 1/2 tonight. 5y
BookDragonNotWorm @LibrarianRyan I'm rooting for you!!! 5y

I swear I‘m not reading a political book, but any of this sound familiar. 😵😁

swynn I wish "probable conviction by a two-thirds vote of the Senate" sounded more familiar. I'd sure sleep a lot better at night. 5y
LibrarianRyan @swynn Amen! I think we may be looking at a squeaker. But he keeps digging himself deeper, so maybe we can get lucky. 5y

Didn't like this one as much. More conspiracy and less murder, so it took about 150 pages to even really get going. So, not terrible, but not as good.

Definitely in the minority, but I absolutely loved #murdertrending and this was an excellent sequel, and the way it ended def paves the way for a third 😱

LibrarianRyan I loved the first book. I have this I just have been holding off for the season to change. 5y

Of course on national book lovers day I went to the book store. I thought I was required to 🤪🤪

As you can tell I‘m getting read for #screamathon and #allhallowsread. ☠️👻😈👽👹👿🎃

Nute Is this celebratory day always on the same date annually, because I seem to miss it every year due to a shifting nature?😆 (edited) 5y
LibrarianRyan @Nute I honestly have no idea. You would think more bookstores would celebrate 5y

I loved #Murdertrending so much I could not bring myself to read a digital galley of this book because I wanted to read it when i had pulp in my hand.
