Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2019

That's right, I'm still continuing with the spooky theme because Spooky Season isn't over until Day of the Dead has passed 😏



Feliz Dia de los Muertos if you celebrate! 😊

The Spooky Book Tag!

I don't remember where I first saw this tag, but I do know that it was created by The Book Pusher! It looks like a lot of fun, so I'm excited to give it a shot!

Synopsis:

Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.

Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.

My rating: ★★★☆☆
This book, oh man. I cannot tell you how excited I was to read this book! I mean, it’s right up my alley! Hunting down a notorious serial killer? Ummm, yes please! Unfortunately, it was kind of a let down 😩 I'm disappointed and it's almost at myself for not loving it? Which I know is insane. But I was so looking forward to it and it was just not what I expected at all.

Synopsis:

Robin Fear has waited decades for this moment. His evil plan is in place. Dierdre Bradley, her father, and Fear Par will be destroyed.

Nothing can stop Robin now.

Except one person. Who's been watching—finding out Robin's secrets—and waiting for revenge.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

It’s closing time... for Dierdre.

I think I started my review of the last book in this series by saying:

“Robin Fear is still trying to stop Fear Park from opening. And Dierdre’s dad is still an idiot for not closing down the park even though people keep dying!”

This book was literally just more of that. All these “accidents” keep happening and that idiot still wont shut down the park! It’s insane! We get a reason as to why Dierdre’s dad wont close the park down, but still!
