I liked the plot but it did seem to borrow from many of the dystopian books I have read in the past. It became almost a game to compare books. That is the main reason I am giving this a 4 star review. I loved the plot but it did feel a little like a mashup of all of the recent and past dystopian books.
All in all, I enjoyed the characters the most and the plot was intriguing when I didn't feel like it was copying different books.

As stated in the title, this is an obvious homage to the 80s (and early 90s) bringing in likenesses of Wes Wraven (scream) and Sam Raimi (Evil dead) in in wonderful mashup of horror.
Set in a small town seemingly cursed with bad luck, a group of teens find themselves hunted by a dead witch whose sole purpose is to take revenge on the town for her execution a few hundred years before.
On the run and hunted by demonicly possessed victims from years prior, time is not in their side as the teens seek a way to end the chase before they meet a bloody and gruesome end.
The first of a trilogy that did not disappoint and the start of what could potentially be something great.

I found the book up until then to be a favorable Holmes-Lovecraft mashup. Lovegrove's characterizations felt spot on, especially his [Spoiler Alert] Moriarty. I was especially taken with his reworking of Holmes and Watson's first meeting.
However, as I alluded to in the beginning of my review, as I coasted into the last 18% of it on my Kindle Fire, I found myself beginning to feel sleepy, my eyelids slowly easing their way down. It was at that point that I found myself skimming to get myself to the end.
The ending did not feel as strong as the book started. It felt like it went on too long. By the last page, I was just, "Whew! Glad that's over!". I will most likely check out the other two books in THE CTHULHU CASEBOOKS trilogy, but no rush on that.

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, #1) in Books
Jan 23, 2020
In a few words and sentences, The Glittering Court feels like a complete mashup of the Bachelor and the Bachelorette with a disguise and a bit of sass involved. I adore sassy countesses, but unfortunately, the sass didn’t really last long. Once Adelaide and Cedric finally get together, it seems like a happily ever after despite the not so great circumstances (all I could do was internally scream, “Where is your sass Adelaide?!?!?!”), and The Glittering Court slowly went down a boring avenue.
Overall, I have mixed feelings in regards to Richelle Mead’s latest book. It is definitely much different than her other books – I just feel like something might have fallen a bit of short. Maybe I’ve read way too many of Mead’s books, but The Glittering Court felt a little too predictable – each plot twist that was meant to be unexpected and surprised came across as something completely expected.
