Lainey feels like there's something wrong with her life, and she wants to do something about it. She decides that going back to work might be just what she needs to get out of this slump in which she feels stuck. However, she's soon captivated by her new boss, Eve, who takes Lainey under her wing as her personal assistant. Soon, there's more than just art and paperwork between them, and they must decide how to handle the new-found feelings along with everything else in their tumultuous lives.
This story definitely kept me interested, as I wanted to see how everything would develop between Lainey and Eve, and especially to know just what all happened earlier in Eve's life to make her the woman she is today. Lainey's married, Eve's with Adam but doesn't know how to commit, and to top it off, there's people dying and going missing all around them, with each new problem being attributed to Eve. She knows what's wrong, but she has to prove it, and along the way we not only learn how ruthless and determined she can be, but we also get to see the vulnerable side that she's been hiding all this time.
My only criticism is that I thought it was a little long, but that may have just been me getting tired (I read it all in one afternoon/night). There was a lot of ground to cover, so it makes sense for it to be longer than the sequel, but to me it felt some parts could have been shortened without losing any information or natural flow of the story. Other than that, great novel, and I'm starting the sequel ASAP!
4.5 stars

Dakotah Salazar (12 KP) rated Child's Play (2019) in Movies
Jul 1, 2019
They cleverly weave that into the depth of where Chucky's madness is taking over him. In how it started was a little far fetched. A guy decided to break the rules at his job because of poor working conditions and a over the top douche of a boss. It was mishandled how it happened.
I think that Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, and Brian Tyree Howard are amazing in this movie. They really sell the world that was created for them, especially Bateman who is tortured by Chucky's antics.
As for the doll design, I think it looked really good. There are moments where rendering in the CGI was needed, but overall, it looked amazing in some scenes. I specifically remember the moment where Bateman is walking Chucky into his room and the way his facial expressions are used makes him weirdly human, and that increases the creepy factor within Chucky.
As for the negatives, it follows the typical ground plan of every slasher, especially Child's Play movies. Mom's boyfriend is a douche. Mom doesn't believe her son. Friends believe Andy. Nice cop who lives with mother may be the knight in shining armor. We can see where this is going, and it also takes a while for Chucky to actually kill something. It panders too much and I think they could've had more potential with the horror.

The book starts out well, but it gets a bit unfocused as it goes along with too many sub-plots. This is especially true when we learn that Tom’s cousin, and Joe’s infatuation, has been brutally raped and left for dead. The two fly over to Ireland to be by her side and help solve the crime, but we also get updates on what is happening in Phoenix thanks to scenes with Gretchen. I did enjoy the main mystery, and I found myself caught up in it, but I wish the book had been a little more focused. This is definitely more serious than the cozies I normally read, but we don’t get too many needless details. Since this is book eight in the series, I really do love the characters, and it was great to spend Christmas with them. In fact, the book stretches from mid-December into the New Year, so we get some nice holiday scenes. The early books in the series were written in the mid-90’s, and the author has kept that time period for the books, as this one makes very clear. All told, I was left smiling when I finished the book.
