This feature is for short reviews, reviews of books in a series where it might feel repetitive, or (as Michelle suggested) books I was too lazy to write a “real” review for. Today’s books I read in September’s Can You Read a Series in a Month? Challenge. I already reviewed the first two books, so I’m wrapping up the series with these two reviews.

Mattie prays Cosette will come to her senses, but it’s an uphill battle with new friends joining Cosette’s family. And now with the public cheering on Louisville’s Vigilante, or Double V as she has come to be known, Cosette has no plans to stop. As a matter of fact, she has a goal for her addiction: take out Kentuckiana’s pedophile population.Protected by a rogue cop, loved by the media, supported by her friends, what could go wrong?
I liked this one much better than the last. Perhaps more comfortable with the the teenage orgies scenario? Or maybe it was toned down a bit? Honestly I’m not sure. There was some more tension than in the previous book – not necessarily mystery so much as twists, which made it feel less focused on the teenage scenario that bogged down the last book. And who can’t enjoy watching pedophiles get their just desserts right? I’m still calling this a disturbing series, Dexter meets high school. And I’m enjoying it a lot. 😂

Stupid, Stupid Girl, the fourth and final chapter in the My Beautiful Suicide series has taken an even darker turn. It’s a lot of work to kill off Kentuckiana’s pedophile population. Cosette and her Miserables dig deep into the world of kidnappers, drug dealers, and child sex traffickers. It’s a downward spiral she might never recover from, but no one wants her to: she is, after all, a hero.
Whoa, what an ending. I’m going to continue to compare this series. Much like Dexter, I’m finished and feeling shocked (even though I probably shouldn’t be, the author foreshadowed in plenty of ways, in hindsight, from book 1). What a beautiful disaster Cosette is! I’m struggling to know what to say without spoiling, when all I want to do is talk about that ending. There is one reveal that I TOTALLY called but hoped was wrong. It was a great, unexpected twist that is kind of the catalyst for the beautiful, disaster of an ending. Definitely recommend this series to anyone who enjoyed Dexter and likes YA. The audio was good, despite a narrator change half way through. I liked both narrators and after some initial adjustment, I really enjoyed both of them. All I can really say is, whoa.
Yay for it ending strong and leaving you buzzy to talk about it. 🙂
Isn’t that the best? When you’re ready to talk about it!!!
