False Witness | Karin Slaughter

Mehso-so

I had a love/hate relationship with this one. The story was fantastic but I knew in the first 200 pages that this was going to be at least 100 pages too long. Slaughter either breaks the bank or writes like she needs filler for her 500 word high school essay. This book was the latter. So many words and they were all the same 🤦‍♀️

SamAnne I‘m feeling the same. Have switched to only audio so I can speed up the superfluous parts. 2y

Andrew65 Much longer than it needed to be in my opinion. I prefer her series books. 2y

I pretty much went into this blind. I just knew I wanted to give it a shot. I've seen it classed as YA but I would put it more adolescent. Older children reading chapter books or maybe pre-teen. It's a cute little story for kids.

Yet another Stine down for #Scarathlon2022

Out of the four stories in this book I think either The Overnight or Missing might be my favourite but I did enjoy them all.

I feel so...seen right now 🤣

Grabbed this at random after seeing it on here somewhere and I loved this! For the true crime obsessed - this is for you. It's hilarious and way, WAY too true.

Finally caught up!

I really enjoyed this one. An unreliable narrator who doesn't know if what she's seeing is real or if she's losing it like everyone thinks she is after a horrific accident. A supernatural element adds a bit to the story but I really liked the uncertainty from start to finish. So much fun!

Almost done, I swear!

This one I didn't care for as much as the others. The story is one you've heard a million times: a group finds a stash of hidden cash, everyone turns on each other other, group get paranoid about the robber that hid the money, chaos ensues. This one has a very Stine-esque twist though that I really didn't need and a scene I could have lived without

This is a mid pick for me. I really enjoyed the whole vibe this book let on. Ghost stories, party games, unsuspecting victims, trapped on and island. There was a lot of predictability but, I mean, it's Stine...of course there is 🤣 It was fun.

Here's another one I kept putting off for no good reason and ended up absolutley loving it. I'm a sucker for crime podcasts and once you add a little armchair sleuthing to it....hooked! I'd love to read more and see if the author holds up!

Ok THIS book I loved!

4 disturbing "confessionals" from deathbed inmates for the Asylum of the Criminally Insane. They trade their story for a swift and pain free death. Some are heartwrenching and some are just downright evil but I couldn't put this down. I need to get the rest of these books!

FantasyChick @aperfectmjk I'll warn you, it could have been better proofread before publishing but I really found it a lot of fun to read. Let me know how you feel about it if you get there! 2y

I love that Stine is writing more modern books for today's teens (let's face it though, he's writing for us almost 40's who grew up on him)

I didn't love this story as much as I expected but by the end it was growing on me. What I do love is that no matter how much time has passed, the writing stays the same 🤣
