6/21/2023 0 Comments Pretty Dead Queens by Alexa Donne![]() ![]() ![]() There was also far, far too much swearing for my taste. I might have abandoned it, but I pushed myself to continue until-at last-the murder came along. I knew the author was building up to something, but the relationships formed far too quickly even as Donne spent much longer than necessary on setting the scene. For one, the beginning of the book was so slow and seemingly meaningless that I just was not sure what to do with it. In the end, I went with three for a few reasons. I was torn between giving this book four or three stars. ![]() Pretty Dead Queens follows Cecelia as she moves in with her famous mystery-writer grandmother after her mother's death, and a copycat kill of a murder that had taken places fifty years before occurs to one of her new friends. Pretty Dead Queens is the second Alexa Donne book I have read, and it was as different from the first (Brightly Burning) as it could possibly have been. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
