Recap #22: Defriended by Ruth Baron

Posted on 24 August 201519 February 2020 by Dove

Dove recaps Defriended by Ruth Baron, which was written by the one person on the planet who has never heard of catfishing, and actually expects us to believe that the dead use Facebook. In a series known for being a massive tease when it comes to the supernatural. Ruth Baron can just fuck off. I hate this book.

Recap #17: Teacher’s Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 9 February 201511 July 2020 by Dove

Recap #14: The Window by Carol Ellis

Posted on 8 September 201411 July 2020 by Dove

Dove recaps The Window by Carol Ellis, which was awesome back in the 90s, because of the cool location, the big cast, and my low standards. Is it still awesome now, or is it as dull as being forced to sit in a cabin in the mountains alone every day thanks to a broken ankle?

Posted on 18 August 201425 March 2020 by Dove

Dove recaps the very best in the Arcadia series, #3: The Pool by T. S. Rue, where we have irresponsible lifeguards, slack work ethics, surprise returned-from-the-dead characters, and also MOTHERFUCKING PIRANHAS. Yes, you read that right. PIRANHAS. This book is the greatest.

Recap #9: The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 4 August 201423 March 2020 by Dove

Dove recaps The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick, a book so painfully obvious, it practically announces the killer on the first page. But, you know, red herrings, hot cheerful boys, intense quiet boys, and people who run away to privately owned islands. Your standard baffling Cusick fare.
