What Book Are You Currently Reading ?

[Batman]

Have you ever wanted to kill somebody?

Sorry, that’s a blunt question. It might make you uncomfortable. If it does—if your stomach knots or your skin prickles—then your answer is yes. You probably don’t want to admit it. I get that. But it doesn’t change the fact that deep down you’re a killer.

Like me.

My name is Mia Sanguine. I’m a 17-year- old girl, living in Australia. I go to school, play percussion in the orchestra, and study when I have to. I like horror movies, comic books, and punk music. Oh, and yeah, a group of teenagers has ruined my life.

So I’m going to kill them.

But don’t get me wrong—I’m not talking about some Columbine-styled rubbish. No offense, but this isn’t the United States. All I need is a mask, an outfit, and a pair of knives. You see, I’m going to become a slasher movie villain. Like Jason, Mike, or Ghostface. In real life. Not because it’s right. But because of what I am.

A YOUNG SLASHER.

Just finished this last night, I'm a massive horror buff so I was semi interested in this, it was a nice easy read, fast paced and pretty violent which sits well with me.

There was constant pop culture references which got a bit tiresome in the end, some were good (especially when she has a mini rant about I spit on your grave) and the book would have been a lot smaller without them, I suppose they were a necessary evil to paint the picture of 'the young slasher'

It was too fast paced though, there was a decent build up then boom it was all over in one night, if the book is going to try and create a protaganist to rival Freddy and Jason then there has to be a few more than 4 murders on one night.

Decent book but I don't think I'll revisit it any time soon (plus I always find that books that rely on pop culture references date really badly, will people still be talking about the Kardashians and Taylor Swift in 20 years time? I fucking hope not anyway)

I'm going to be starting this today

Sent to London to help catch a vicious serial killer, Inspector John Rebus teams up with a beautiful psychologist to piece together a portrait of a depraved psychopath bent on painting the town red—with blood...

part 3 of the Rebus series, the first 2 have been less than amazing and I'm expecting more of the same from this one, I'm only reading it because I was gifted the entire series, they are easy enough going though so I don't mind too much.

once I've finished this one I'm going to be looking for something a bit more taxing, I might delve back into the old gothic genre from the 1800's, they always seem to keep me going for a good while
