ARC Review: The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters

Red Lady, Red Lady, show us your face...

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real--and she could prove it.

That belief got Becca killed.

It's been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night--that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She's done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died.

The night Heather killed her.

Now, someone else knows what she did...and they're determined to make Heather pay.

First off I love this cover which is what made me stop and check this book out. The blurb sounded good so I decided to take a chance on this new to me author. I didn’t hate the book but I didn’t love it either. The story is told in past and present. I really enjoyed the past parts of the book and reading about the Red Lady. I would have loved a point of view from Becca as well. The present part of the story is where I struggled big time. I didn’t care for Heather and found her to be bland and lacking personality. The ending of the book was anticlimactic as well. This book is billed as a supernatural thriller but I didn’t get that vibe while I read. It felt more of a mystery story than supernatural thriller. I wouldn’t be opposed to reading another book by this author in the future.
