Thought this would be a bit more sci-fi with the opportunity for a little absurd humor...but instead it's a rather maudlin tale of a dying teen who doesn't die and then spends a great deal of time thinking about when he was dying. Definitely a teen read - I probably would have really liked this book in high school.

Another good installment in the series. This one has three separate stories and does wrap up a few loose ends.

Listened to it in the car. Like the others in the series - loved it. It does get a teensy bit draggy from about 1/2 way to 2/3 of the way through - but it's fine - I didn't find myself wishing to jump ahead. The characters are terrific.

Like the others in the series - loved it. In fact... loved it so much I am thinking about re-reading the entire series.
This one gives the back story on Mrs Hudson - and it's a doozy. She is a fully formed character by the end of the book - and could probably head off to her own independent series. I would hope to see more of her ‘what's next' in a future book.

Another great installment! I have really enjoyed this series.

Listened to this one in the car - and really enjoyed it. Am happily jumping right into Winter next!

another highly entertaining installment in the series. The story is very funny, and smart as well. love that the bicycle is named Gladys.

Like the others in the series - I really enjoyed this one.

I listened to this one in the car. If you do this - be warned - three women in the book are named Nete (Pronounced Nita), Rita, and Gitta (rhymes with the other two)...so but for the first letter - the names sound identical - which took me a bit to get comfortable with and caused some confusion in the beginning.
Enjoyed it - Assad is fleshed out a teensy bit more, and Rose's character gets more back story. Half of these is - for me, anyway - is the enjoyment of the characters. The other half is the mystery. Enjoyed this one so much that I immediately jumped into the next book in the series when I finished this one.

Some bits I liked - but huge chunks are basically: Oooooh, a hint of lavender and vanilla, somebody save me....swoon. Eyeroll. I attempted to timewalk my way to the end. Not my cup of tea.

The mental health bits were interesting, but I really struggled with the legal bits. And since most of it is legal bits....sigh. I skimmed and was happy to finish it.

Enjoyable 2nd installment of this new series. I look forward to the next book!

Thoroughly enjoyed this: so much so that I downloaded the second in the series before I finished it so I could dive right into book 2 without having to wait. The book builds on one of the side characters in the Grave Secret series. She's world building in this one - and the little community of Midnight is sketched in nicely by the end, and there's a little mystery to tie it all together.

I found the Wolf/Scarlet thing a tad tedious - but the book really comes together at the end. Am looking forward to the next installment.

I really enjoyed this one: Listened to this one in the car. I'd say I ‘couldn't put it down' - but that makes no sense. Instead - I was coming up with reasons to run errands just to keep listening to it. It's a familiar story with a twist that I enjoyed. Be warned, though - it ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book in the series ready to go!

I liked all but the ending, which was a bit contrived. I'd like to give it 3 1/2 stars...4 for the majority...2 for the ending. Enjoyed the characters...and was even fine with the stand alone sentences. It was a quick read.

Another winning entry in the series. Great characters!

another enjoyable installment in the St Mary's saga.

listened to this one in the car. I know I wouldn't have been able to read it in book form and maintain enough interest to finish it. that's not saying it's not good...its just incredibly detailed - being pulled along with an audiobook was a good thing. thought it was a fantastic book and am looking forward to the second book. it's a fascinating and extremely detailed accounting of not just the band, but also the people who helped them along the way.

it has its moments, but was underwhelmed at the end.

I thought I was really going to like this one. Turned out I had a real problem staying engaged with the story. It gets rather repetitive in the middle, and the ending - which really did it for other people - was meh for me. I'm glad to to be done with it.

I almost didn't read this one because of the ridiculous cover with the redhead in the skimpy dress. Wasn't sure what King was doing on this one - figured it was some Sam-Spade-ish crime novel and that wouldn't be my cup of tea. The description of the book didn't really thrill me, either. What got me were the reviews on Audible. So I downloaded it - and listened to it in the car. Loved it. It's a coming of age story where the protagonist works in a theme park - set in the early 70's. There's a mystery, there's a little supernatural (just enough), and some great characters. Glad I finally made the decision to read it.

Well, as others have said, the author covers a large amount of ground in the first couple of chapters...and as the series theme is mystery, not romance...moving the timeline ahead so quickly makes some sense. I enjoyed this one. I thought the backdrop was interesting - it covers a part of history generally not covered in textbooks in school. So I found myself googling and reading more about the area and time and players as I read the book. Very enjoyable. I look forward to her next book.

Loved it. Couldn't put it down. It's funny, and gripping, and fascinating.

listened to this one in the car. it's a nicely layered mystery and very well crafted. really liked the humor and found myself laughing out loud at several points. Am looking forward to reading others by this author.
