I set a goal of one book and I am at such peace. I haven’t picked up a book just for fun in many years. I usually pick a friend to pick the total number of books that they want to challenge me with. I haven’t picked up an Allison Brennan novel since I read the Original Sin in High School and it was so nice to come back to this author and get lost in her story telling. This was such a departure from Original Sin and such a fun mystery. Firstly I will start by saying I love books that have a podcast. My favorite are true crime so this was perfect. This novel surrounds Lucas Vega who has created a podcast for his senior capstone project at Northern Arizona University. The podcast focuses on the mysterious disappearance and then death of NAU student and sorority sister Candace Swain. The podcast is slowly gaining traction and gaining attention from everyone. The popularity starts to irritate Candace’s sorority sisters. In hopes to try and solve this cold case the advisor who is helping Lucas brings Regan Merrit a former US marshal to help bring in clues. What adds more dynamics to this story is that Regan has problems of her own and this mystery is just the thing to keep her mind off her own issues. As the story continues Lucas and Regan start to get threats to end their search for answers. I am glad that this is the book that I started my year off with. Sometimes reading a genre that you love sets your mood for a great year. I enjoyed this story. I know that some readers say that this is a bit long winded. I personally enjoyed it. The writing style is easy to follow and the story kept my interest. I am hoping that the author will continue this series with the Marshal as the lead because it would be something I would be very interested in. I gravitate to campus mysteries and murders due to the sheer complexities of the mind at that age. When I saw the title of this book, I didn’t bother reading the synopsis because it had me hooked and I was committed to reading it no matter what! The story was mid to fast paced of a male student hosting a podcast about a 3yo cold case Murder of a sorority girl. There is much opposition to his podcast from the sorority but when he lands an ex Marshall to interview on the show, she becomes invested in the murder and also has doubts on what happened to the victim. It doesn’t take long before they realize they have opened up a can of worms and it’s now or never to determine the truth of what really happened. This book was a puzzle and kept revealing more clues as the story went on, and it was a nonstop train wreck at the end when all the pieces came together! 3.5 ⭐️s. It could be that the audio narration affected my opinion (because she had an annoying voice IMO), but I didn’t love this as much as I expected to. The story here is: An undergrad decides to start a podcast trying to get answers about an unsolved murder that happened on campus 3 years prior. Lucas has loose ties to the victim and ulterior motives that he’s not sharing. He eventually gets an ex-US Marshall involved because he has no idea what he’s doing and it’s painfully obvious that he’s in over his head. She takes over and things escalate quickly. A BIG BAD is revealed and things just kind of wrap up with very few surprises. Meh. I really wanted to love this, but the story was too predictable and the baddie was just too over-the-top bad. He/she is just responsible for every single thing for no reason other than he/she is bad. There was a lot of going over and over known facts until all of a sudden everything comes out at once. That didn’t make this book particularly exciting for me. Also, I know this was about a podcast, but how many freaking times does the word podcast need to be used. Podcast, the podcast, what about the podcast??? Maybe that was more of the audio book effect, but I will be happy to not hear that word in my life for a while. And ughhh don’t get me started on the Lizzie character. Could there be a more useless and annoying character?? No, no there couldn’t. What I did like about this book was: the setting, the sorority aspects, the ages of the characters (there aren’t a ton of books with college-aged characters), some of the mystery was interesting, and it wasn’t a book I wanted to quit. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Lucas Vega is obsessed with the death of Candace Swain, who left a sorority party one night and never came back. Her body was found a week after she disappeared, but the case has grown cold. Three years later while interning at the medical examiner's, Lucas discovers new information, but the police are not interested. Lucas knows he has several credible pieces of the puzzle. He just isn't sure how they fit together. So he creates a podcast to revisit Candace's last hours. Then he encourages listeners to crowdsource what they remember and invites guest lecturer Regan Merritt, a former US marshal, to come on and share her expertise. New tips come in that convince Lucas and Regan they are onto something. Podcast callers hint at Candace's secret life, a much darker picture than Lucas imagined -- and one that implicates other sorority sisters. Then shockingly a sorority alum, one of the last people to see Candace before she disappeared, turns up dead. Regan uses her own resources to bolster their theory and learns that Lucas is hiding his own secret. The pressure is on to solve the murder, but first Lucas must come clean about his real motives in pursuing this podcast -- before the killer silences him forever."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
