I really liked this book, such a unique way of telling a story. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year. Captivating, could not put it down. A must read this summer!
Such a unique and interesting thriller/story. First time when I encounter this idea made into a book, and I must say, it made me think about all those times when we have "the gut feeling" and maybe there is someone on the other side screaming into our ear canal what to do. Anyway, the story got me hooked pretty instantly. For some readers, it might be a bit rough at the beginning as there are some sensitive scenes of violence and basically unaliving a person. James is quite a prolific monster, activating on a dating site, with a thirst for violence. Oh, I should have said he is this handsome, charismatic angel as well. I could say he most likely has some mommy issues because all his victims are women. He had a facade, though, April and 2 daughters to whom I can't say he was too warmed up. Megan, Brecia, and Skye are basically his victims, but they manage to co-operate in this tragedy they all faced. It made me think, it really made me think, do the souls of murdered people just linger around, waiting and waiting for someone to find them... Of course, it is just a thought, providing there is something out there beyond. Good pacing, although there are alternating POVs, made me hold my breath in crucial moments, hoping the worst is not happening.
I don't want to spoil the book by saying too much, Ask For Andrea is the American equivalent of Ask For Angela which you may have seen in pubs, where you can ask the staff if you feel uncomfortable on a date. Just to say, the girls in this book didn't think they needed that. A novel way of presenting the tale, but you need to keep alert as it moves quickly from person to person telling the tale.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and very hard to put down. I'm not usually a big fan of "men bad, women good" which this book was by a mile. But, like i said it will keep you going. Good job Miss Ihli!
A chilling thriller centred around three murdered women who refuse to let their killer claim another victim. It was one of those books that completely hooked me. Fast-paced, unique and impossible to put down, it's easy to see why so many thriller readers rave about it. It was a strong 4.5 stars for me.
