The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters | Review

The Dead Girls ClubDamien Angelica Walters | Crooked Lane Books | Pub: December 10, 2019 | Pages: 280

When Heather Cole receives a necklace in the mail from an unknown sender, she can't believe her eyes.

It's one-half of a 'Best Friends' pendant and Heather knows it well because it was on the neck of her best friend, Becca, the night she died. In fact, it went with her into her grave.

Heather is definitely confused; she then starts to investigate why she received this necklace.

The narration goes back and forth from Present to Past; so we understand what happened 30 years ago.

Let’s just say this wasn’t my favorite book...as with most people on Goodreads, I couldn’t stand Heather, one of the main characters. This book was also too slow-paced for my liking, too much pointless dialogue, and no character development.

I initially thought this would be a creepy and dark story, but I was disappointed.

The summary already gives out too much of the story, so I shall leave it at this for now. Maybe this is a story you will enjoy but I could have easily skipped this read.

Thank you to Crooked Lane Books for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.

Synopsis

Red Lady, Red Lady, show us your face...

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real--and she could prove it.

That belief got Becca killed.

It's been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night--that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She's done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died.

The night Heather killed her.

Now, someone else knows what she did...and they're determined to make Heather pay.
