Defriended by Ruth Baron

Posted on 24 August 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Defriended by Ruth Baron, which was written by the one person on the planet who has never heard of catfishing, and actually expects us to believe that the dead use Facebook. In a series known for being a massive tease when it comes to the supernatural. Ruth Baron can just fuck off. I hate this book.

The Mall by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 30 March 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Mall by Richie Tankersley Cusick, which is literally the best and worst thing Cusick has ever written. This causes Dove to explode with rage. Several times.

April Fools by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 23 February 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps April Fools by Richie Tankersley Cusick, wherein we meet the worst characters Cusick has ever dreamed up, Hildy and Frank. And then we pray for their deaths.

Teacher’s Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 9 February 201531 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps the garbled mess that is Teacher’s Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick. It may suck, but at least it has a cat in it.

The Window by Carol Ellis

Posted on 8 September 201431 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Window by Carol Ellis, which was awesome back in the 90s, because of the cool location, the big cast, and my low standards. Is it still awesome now, or is it as dull as being forced to sit in a cabin in the mountains alone every day thanks to a broken ankle?

The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 4 August 201431 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick, a book so painfully obvious, it practically announces the killer on the first page. But, you know, red herrings, hot cheerful boys, intense quiet boys, and people who run away to privately owned islands. Your standard baffling Cusick fare.

Dream Date by Sinclair Smith

Posted on 24 February 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Dream Date, which is kind of like Nightmare on Elm Street fanfic, where Freddy gets woobified, and all he needs is the love of a good woman. And to kill everyone else in her life.

Beach House by R L Stine

Posted on 10 February 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Beach House, a Point Horror where characters actually die, and Stine uses a cliffhanger ending on every single chapter.

Trick or Treat by Richie Tankersley Cusick

Posted on 25 January 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Trick or Treat where we meet Martha who is literally the worst. And she is honestly surprised that someone wants to kill her. Dove is honestly surprised that only one person wants to kill her.

Funhouse by Diane Hoh

Posted on 8 January 201331 January 2021 by Dove

Dove recaps Funhouse by Diane Hoh, wherein the lead character isn’t a wet rag with the intelligence of rotten milk, the setting is pretty cool, and Gina, the BFF, rocks. Sadly, this will be the last time we enjoy such luxuries. Bit of a shame this is the case on recap #1.
