Review: Miss Polly had a Dolly

Miss Polly had a Dolly Miss Polly had a Dolly by Willow Rose
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I can't say I like it....

The book is gruesome in so many ways that I can't even begin to list them.
Somewhere I read that this book is like a car crash, and if I have to be honest, I have to totally agree. It is like looking at a crime scene that is despicable and still you cannot take your eyes off it.
It has a lot of unnecessary pervert scenes that it is unpleasant to read in places. Moreover, I could not quite agree with the reasoning of the killer for choosing his specific victims. The writer does explain at some point in the story, why the valiant does what it does, but still... Her reasoning seems shallow and just made up to me.
I don't know if I am going to read the next in the series.

Review: "The Night Stalker" by Chris Carter

The Night Stalker The Night Stalker by Chris Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am sorry to say that this book was not as good as the previous two. There was something about it that just did not do it for me. It definitely was not the crimes, since they were very ... hm.. how do one say that he or she likes the way someone is killed in a book ;) Let's say the crimes were cleverly thought. But still something in the story made me stop reading it for almost half a mount.
If I have to be honest, if this was the first book of the series that I have read, I wouldn't have read the others. Now the only reason I am going to start the next one, is because I received very good review for it from my mother.
Let's hope that the next book would not disappoint me too.
