Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives | Adam Cesare

pick

This was fun! It put us right back in the world of Frendo, about a year after the events of the first book. It‘s a quick read, with lots of action, and a couple fun twists.

Got to be honest, this wasn't what I expected and I don't know how I feel about that

so-so

Unpopular opinion. I wanted to like this book. I was so excited to read it when I received it in my #Staycation package but definitely it didn‘t work for me😬So repetitive, how many times he said was a slasher? That he shouldn‘t go to that party? and if you forget, it happened in 1989, this was mentioned over and over. So many unnecessary details🙄 rambling story🤦🏽‍♀️I almost DNF. I should sympathize with the character? I was bored 2⭐️

This one started out rough. I was a little confused on what was actually happening, but once it clicked for me and the slasher pattern came through I really started to enjoy it. I love slasher stories and it was really interesting to see it from the “monsters” POV. The writing is quite florid and can be hard to follow but overall the story was unique and entertaining! #hauntedshelf #skeletoncrew

ChaoticMissAdventures I felt the same about this. I was hoping it was because I read the ARC, but it doesn't sound like things got flushed out during publishing. 2mo

The Angel of Indian Lake | Stephen Graham Jones

This final book in the Indian Lake trilogy finds Jade Daniels back in Prufrock, Idaho, the scene of multiple massacres. Now a history teacher, Jade has barely a moment of peace before violence begins to bubble up around her. More witness than participant, Jade tries to sit this one out if only the world would let her, while still churning out horror movie references to make sense of the unfolding nightmare. A bloody resolution to a gripping series

A pretty quick read. Interesting but felt off somehow.

TieDyeDude That's what I keep hearing. I still want to read it, but my expectations are low. 2mo

bailed

I only made it to page 39. The writing was horrible ... possibly on purpose due to the character's POV but I couldn't continue reading it.
