D'Lovely

Excellent blend of horror and comedy

Revisado: 08-07-24

I don't watch horror movies, so upon hearing that this was a modern day take on the character Carrie, I had only limited references (a prom queen covered in blood was about it), I went in very curious and pretty much with a clean slate.

I haven't read anything like it. It was funny, gory, and at times spooky enough for me to avoid reading at night. There were plenty of twists, several I didn't coming, and it gave me just as much cerebral floss as it did entertainment. I wanted to listen anytime I could.

I ended the book with a few questions, and I prefer a very wrapped up tight finish to my reads, yet it didn't take away from the overall experience. I would definitely ready this again.

Jaw dropping twists

Revisado: 08-02-24

Great read. I wanted more near the end, but each twist had my jaw on the floor.

Slow burn that is worth every minute

Revisado: 04-17-24

This book starts off with a bang and drags you painstakenly through two stories that are both gripping, emotional and thrilling. I really enjoyed the twist.

Layers and twist nation!

Revisado: 04-17-24

This was extremely well done! This is a layered, twisty story that had me reading it one sitting. When you think you know, you really don't. Excellent read.

Pierce does not disappoint!

Revisado: 04-05-19

The trilogy reboot is dark and fragile with great twists. The new characters are full of dimension and contribute well to the new phase in this saga.

The narration is a winner too.

Awesome characters, great suspense!

Revisado: 07-17-18

Gripping, I tell you. Gripping!

Take a stroll in this period piece that will have you guessing through and through. Every character was so multi-dimensional, so there were barely any lulls in the action and intensity. A great mystery thriller!

A different zombie tale - one with heart

Revisado: 07-17-18

I can't watch zombie movies, but I can read just a small few of stories about them. Mostly because I don't like terror, but mainly because zombies are boring and get too predictable almost instantly. This story was different.

The slow build up to understanding what Melanie is and her part to play in the distopic future was the high point of this novel. While there isn't much time to understand the back story of each character, the book provides enough to create a keen sense of awareness of their importance since there is only a small handful of players in the entire story.

I couldn't put the book down since the suspense and detailed rendering of the "hungries" was so sublime. I thought it was an excellent read.

Darrow's story continues not to disappoint. So many twists and surprises, I continue to be delighted. I'm looking forward to book III.

Chilling and horrifying true story

Revisado: 09-27-17

This book broke my heart, again. It is such a sad story that rings true throughout so much of America's history. The details and the anecdotes are riveting. I wanted to turn away and stop reading at times, especially at the area of the Native Americans who died. A reminder of how we must stand up for what is right everyday. Side note: Ann Marie sounded a bit like Siri, but Will Patton was a great save.

These are the zombies you've been looking for

Revisado: 09-18-17

Would you listen to Star Wars again? Why?

This book was very satisfying. There were a few loose ends that I'd like to have seen completely wrapped up, but the rest of the material story, effects, and action more than made up for it. This Star Wars story provides enough of the pieces with which we are very familiar and marries it to today's crush on the undead. I was pretty terrified throughout the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars?

The story swell to when you understand the sickness and what it's doing to the crew of the Purge. And of course seeing that a certain "scoundrel" would have an important role in the stories outcome.

Which character – as performed by Sean Kenin – was your favorite?

For once, the droid! I heart Waste.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Of course Star Wars delivers with its sound effects. Once you're back on the Star Destroyer, all bets are off with the action, suspense, and gore.

Any additional comments?

If the Empire is still experimenting with the Blackwing virus anywhere, I'm game on reading that book too.
