The Dead Girls Club: A Novel
One of Refinery29's and POPSUGAR's Favorite New Books
A scary story becomes far too real in this “unsettling” supernatural thriller in the vein of A Head Full of Ghosts that “will keep you guessing to the very last page” (Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger)
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.

Very simplistic writing style; storyline was drawn out and didn't have much depth. Could make a great YA novel. Storyline peaks in the last three chapters and the ending felt rushed. Disappointing as the reviews sounded optimistic.
This story was.. okay I wouldn’t say it was my favorite. It was written well and is all about dead girls literally, like these two teens have an obsession with dead females throughout books and history. It was okay to read and I did enjoy it but it just wasn’t anything too over the top. However, I will say the characters were very admirable especially the main protagonist. If your looking for a quick read with little attention required this will be a good choice. I got this book for a Honest Tea review through netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine and mine alone, thank you netgalley for this opportunity to read this one.
