Police Detective Alisha "Ali" Green was brutally attacked
two months ago. The killer left her almost dead and her
partner dead. Since then has she had a memory problem, even
simple things are hard to remember. She can't even be sure
that her memory is always right. And, the killer is still
out there.
DEAD GIRLS starts off with a fabulous flashback to the event
two months before. It's the kind of start that made me go,
wow, I need to read more. Alas, for this book just didn't
fulfill my hope of a truly captivating thriller. For one
thing, the story is a bit messy, it's hard to keep up with
what is going on and all the characters. I had to reread
parts and go back in the story to keep track of the
characters. And, it just makes the story hard to read. I
really wanted to like the book. However, along the way, I
felt I lost track of what was going on, over and over again.
DEAD GIRLS is the second book in the Normal series,
and I don't know if it would have been better to have read
NORMAL first. This book, however, does feel like a stand-alone.
I would say that if you loved NORMAL then the chances of
loving this book is probably good. Personally, this book
just didn't do the trick for me. I kept on waiting for the
story to make sense, but I never got that feeling. I did
want to know how it all would end. In a way, this book
reflects Ali's state of mind, which is messy.
I may not remember everything, but I know he won’t hurt
anyone else.
I won’t let him.
It’s been two months since a serial killer brutally
attacked police detective Alisha Green and left her for
dead. Two months since she could effortlessly recall
simple things, since her mind felt remotely sound. The
nameless killer thinks he knows her, thinks she’s just
another dead girl among many. Ali Green plans to show him
he’s dead wrong about that.
Ali has two enemies now: the dangerous man she’s hunting
and her own failing memory. As explosive new evidence
comes to light and conflicting accounts from a witness
and a surviving victim threaten both her investigation
and her credibility, she begins to question what is and
isn’t real. And now Ali has no choice but to remember the
past…before it buries her.
