Dead Beat by Leigh Bardugo

Dead Beat by Leigh Bardugo

Dead Beat is the final book in Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House trilogy. Do I remember what happened in Ninth House and Hell Bent? No, not really. Did I bother re-reading both books before starting Dead Beat? Of course I didn’t. I just dove right into Dead Beat and hoped I would remember stuff from the other books along the way. Dead Beat is an enjoyable conclusion to the trilogy and ends exactly as I could have hoped for. I can depend on Bardugo not making me want to throw a book across the room.

WARNING: If you plan on reading Ninth House and Hell Bent, do not read this review just yet as it contains some spoilers.

Old Soul is a horror novel that I had been waiting to come out in paperback, and to be honest I am glad I did not spend the money on the hardcover version because as much as I enjoyed the story, I was disappointed to find this novel not scary at all and the ending REALLY PISSED ME OFF.

I feel like mystery thrillers these days are all about the shock factor rather than crafting a good mystery story that makes sense. Tiffany Crum’s This Story Might Save Your Life is no exception. Did I devour this book to find out what happens at the end? Of course I did. I am like a cat; curiosity got the better of me. Did I mostly dislike this book while I was reading it? Also, of course I did. I have really got to stop reading overly hyped mystery novels.

Two in one review! Honestly, I probably would have never bothered with reading these sequels to Nita Prose’s The Maid if I had not come across them on Book Outlet. As it is, I did not read the novella set between The Mystery Guest and The Maid’s Secret. Both of these novels are as cutesy as the first novel in the series, but I do not think they are good mystery novels.

Spoilers ahead for The Maid in case you plan on reading it.
