This review was based on her second book: Book Club Bloodshed…
Hate that Bates had to link Noreen & Tyler in a backstabbing way towards Missy in this book. It’s annoying that things happen to Missy & it’s like she just has to take it. I wouldn’t have helped Noreen & yes I would remove both from my life. No one has time for friends like them.
“Get out of the way, you whale” REALLY BATES REALLY!?! Is Missy that huge in reality that someone would really scream out of the window that obscenity!? Bates puts way too much emphasis on Missy’s weight & it’s getting tiring. It takes away from the quality of the book & her writing.
Yet more typos in this book as well as the last! Come on Bates! Get it together! You’re an author for God’s sakes!
*Face palm* This PI Paul I.S Gold was a joke & was the most typical PI description I have ever heard “mustache & overcoat” with a “sleazy vibe” the cliche!
I do like her emotional moments that reel in the reader but then loses it when Missy either caves or gives in; in the moment and always so apologetic when she should stand her ground! It feels like Missy just lets everyone walk all over her & yet has small moments of bravery that don’t work for me.
Repetitive yet AGAIN! Bates has a habit of repeating things over and over! Sometimes within the same paragraph
Every person in their 20’s made her feel “old”; mentioning it many times in this book
I’m starting to ABSOLUTELY HATE her way of wrapping up the books! This sudden approach that it gets figured out at the end of one chapter; then you are excited to see how it continues & by the next and final chapter it completely misses the juicy part of the killer being caught and jumps to the next day of a few days later! Unbelievable!
Honestly, I hate this book with a passion! This whole deal with Noreen (the supposedly bestfriend since childhood) was in a physical relationship with Missy’s high school sweetheart Tyler (that she is still currently in love with 20 YEARS LATER I might add). She ends up still friends with this chick (Noreen) at the end. I don’t give a bleep how long ago it was a true friend would NEVER CROSS THAT LINE! I hated this book it made Missy look weak and like she had no self respect! Damn these books are getting worse and worse!
Haven’t gotten through all 6 yet but I’m half way there & it doesn’t look that she gets any better! She needs a new editor for one & she needs new techniques to better writing! But she has good plots and ideas just need improvements in your writing and execution. The endings of her books so far draw a reader in; then just lets them down!
I am having fun with the stories, and so far I have been right on ‘whodunit’.
I am just into the 3rd of this group. I DO NOT like the grammatical and typographical errors. Sometimes I have to re-read the current paragraph or even the previous one to figure out what is being said, or even worse whether they are talking about he or she > this happens a LOT. You need an editor that can read and understands a bit of grammar to fix these issues, before the books go to print.
A really easy to read set of books by Brianna Bates.
She is very entertaining.
