What's the Most Difficult Kind of Review to Write? This Kind.
1:00 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
It's tough to diss a book when you request it from an author (who also happens to be related to a friend of yours), she gladly sends you one of her last copies, and is just super sweet about the whole thing. This is the hardest part of reviewing for me—wanting to be honest without offending kind, hardworking authors. It's most important, though, for my readers to trust me, so here we go with the honest-even-though-I-don't-want-to-be review:

(Readalikes: I'm sure there are many, but nothing's coming to mind ...)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for language (no F-bombs), violence and sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Dead Girls Don't Lie from the very generous Jennifer Shaw Wolf. Thank you!

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
