Why Did I Read? I’ve seriously loved all of Megan Erickson’s books so this was a no brainer! My Thoughts: I was so happy to be back with the Paytons! I just love all members of this crazy family and couldn’t wait to get Brent’s story. Since Dirty Thoughts, I was excited for Brent because he’s just a funny, carefree, guy. He’s the one who tells the jokes and he had me cracking up continuously in the previous book. In Dirty Talk, […]

It’s written in 3rd person present tense and I struggled with this. It kept jolting […]

The Sound: The narration was decent and enjoyable. I thought the narrator did a good job with infusing the emotion of the main character in her voice. The Story: So, I love myself a good revenge story. Mix in a covered up attack and murder of an entire cruise ship full of people? I am so in. I was really eager to see what exactly was going on with the attack and how Frances was going to go about her […]

Eleanor Fitt is just your normal girl until mass numbers of zombies interrupts her day to day life. The Dead, as they are called in this series, […]
