Give Me Your Hand af Megan Abbott

I've enjoyed Megan Abbott's other books, but this one . . . not so much. It's very dark, which I usually like, but I felt like I needed to take a shower after I finished reading it. The characters are all thoroughly unlikeable, slippery, enigmatic, and annoying, although I think a lot of that was Ms. Abbott's writing style which seemed unnecessarily loopy at times rather than straightforward. This was probably my least favorite of her novels.

Beware the Woman af Megan Abbott

Creepy thriller about a pregnant woman who visits her father-in-law with her husband and then the fun begins. There is a looming sense of dread throughout, and although the story is a little far-fetched, it's entertaining. I enjoyed it.

Dare Me af Megan Abbott

I apparently need a shelf for things I read because it turns out that I need more books than I can carry for two weeks in Europe and there's no English language bookstores in the Swiss Alps and my library app limits what I can download internationally.

This book is utter crap. Complete and utter crap. Paper thin characters. The least mysterious mystery. I'm not totally sure Megan Abbott was ever a teenage girl, but, wow, that is NOT what it's like. Also, it reads super slowly. I seriously considered DNF'ing it despite having literally no reading alternative. Not really any redeeming features.… (mere)
