Careful with this one! The blurb makes it sound like a serial killer type thriller. It's not! It's a horror novel! Lots of supernatural stuff going on here. It's not bad, but the blurb is very misleading.

I'm sorry but what even is this book? The beginning had some promise but then somewhere along the way it just got weird. I can deal with weird, but for some reason I just couldn't deal with this. I'm only giving this one star and that's because I finished it and immediately after I was done I gave this book away. Please don't read this, I'm warning you.

Only because 0.5 stars wasn't an option. Terrible book.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, All The Pretty Dead Girls by John Manning. It's his first novel and it truly is a good one!
After reading the blurb on the back I was a little wary of reading it because the blurb was a bit vague to me and didn't really seem clear as to what the story was going to be about, but I decided to read it anyways - I'm glad I did. The plot line wasn't what I expected to be at first but I quickly got into it.
Sue Barlow was an interesting character. She was such a sweet girl at the beginning, I got really attached to her as she was in the beginning, and I was surprised at how mean she got as the story progressed.
Another character I really liked was Billy Honeycutt, he seemed like a really sweet boy and I was really hoping he would get together with Sue. Their relationship together at the beginning was a bit childish and very.. distant in ways from each other.
About midway through the book things really started happening. The mystery really got going, and really hooked me in further. It was mind blowing, the new developments and all.
I'm really hoping that there is a sequel to this book because I find the end sort of dropped off. Anyways, it's a really good read; I'd certainly recommend it!
