Wow. I love the narration of this story and I honestly can see this in my head and already started thinking of casting for some of the parts. Parts of the story are funny, but other parts are definitely darker in nature. This is Chainani's take on "The Little Mermaid" apparently. I liked it."The Princess Game" follows an undercover cop Detective Callum Pederson (I am thinking Leo) who enrolls in high school to find out who is killing young girls called "princesses." Five girls are found dead in
I listened to this in one sitting, it was great. A fun mystery with a dark fairytale twist.
This was a painfully strange fairytale retelling to say the least. It involved the murders of five High school girls, who were apparently Princesses, and it is a race to see who committed the crimes. What screamed at me immediately, is the way the females are portrayed in this. As ever, women are apparently only good in the sack, but in this book, the guys get to grade them on their "talents."Let me be clear. The guys are dicks, and their toxic masculinity is completely stifling. Give me some ai...
Out of all the books from "The Faraway Collection" this one was by far my favorite. The writing is different so it may not be for everyone. It is written like a script but as an interrogation. The story is about 3 "princess" murders that happened and the main characters who are undercover detectives are trying to figure it out. There are clues along the way and if you pay attention you will figure it out like I did but there is still a twist at the end that I did not see coming. I will definitel...
This is one of those books that you are either going to enjoy or going to hate. I think it is an interesting fairy tale mash up of rape culture and the culture that does exist in high school, in fact the type that the schools endorse with the whole Valentine's Day Homeroom delivery that seem to still exist in places. It is one of those questionable narrator stories as well.
Plot idea was okay, although I figured it out at the first interview who killed the girls. sigh.Hated the writing and the tone, though. This read like a juvenile boiled down 21 Jumpstreet script (not the awesome, original series, but the gag-worthy remake).
I really enjoyed this! It’s a good teen mystery. Easy to solve the mystery, but a very entertaining story.
Some good ideas, but it was lacking in a number of areas. The interview style was hard to follow when you had a very short time to get to know the large cast of characters. The final reveal wasn't very believable at all and any "foreshadowing" was way too blatant and gave away the "twist". The detectives acted ridiculous and it pulled me out of the story.
3.75–This one is a bit twisted & it took me awhile to figure out what was what, but damn, the end!! 😱😱I’m digging these unique shorts & enjoying some time away from MM romance. I’ve been in a major funk lately, starting and stopping no less than 5 books or audiobooks a day. These have been a lifesaver!!
