In Down London Road we meet Johanna, her brother Cole, her mother, a new guy named Cameron (Cam), and return with old friends from On Dublin Street. I enjoyed this book overall, I really did, but I also had a couple of huge problems. I know that Jo had to grow up before her time due to her family situation, an alcoholic mother, abusive father, etc., but I feel that in the love department she was immature. It was like a daisy. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. There was so much back and forth, it was annoying. I rather have an actual plot and storyline than that nonsense. That made me sad because I love the series so much. Oh, well. To each his own. I give it three stars in the end. I liked it, but I did not love it. Here’s hoping that the third in the series is even better!
Serial killer thriller ~ The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerristen ~ @bookdout #eclecticreader
Right now for the ERC, I am reading The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerristen. Wow! What an excited read! This is classified under the serial killer category, and boy are we off to a good start. So far we have met a young boy who believes he himself is not what he appears. He feels that the family that he is going to live with after the death of his father have no idea who they are welcoming into their home. Fast forward several years and we find ourselves with Rizzoli and Dr. Isles outside a gruesome homicide scene. Could it be at the hands of a satanic ritual? Or just a serial killer who wants it to appear that way? Add in a group who investigates crimes, and you have an exciting novel. There is also a side story of a young woman who is traveling through Italy running for her life. From whom? We have not found that out yet. This is such a wonderful book. Every time I have to put it down I am disappointed. I would love to read it all in one sitting. I cannot wait to give a full review once the book is finished. So far, I highly recommend this read.
