Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd

What I Didn’t Like:

Confusing at first … but I do think that was the point. You catch on pretty quickly to the idea even if you still feel like you have about a million questions.
A LOT of character names are thrown at you. All the guests of the resort are named, the staff are named, you have siblings and husbands … It’s a lot. I honestly started basically skimming names and hoping a hint would come to tell me who this was and if they were important.
There’s a lot going on and it’s a bit hard to keep track of all the details. It almost seemed like we followed too many threads in too short a time.
That ending didn’t work for me. It was too cheesy.
Content warning: abuse, death.

The mystery surrounding the main character’s background was satisfying. It’s well done, interesting, and multi-layered.
Kellan is an interesting character. She’s relatable and realistic.

Readers who want to try thrillers without having something too scary might like this one.

I’d call this one thriller light. It’s not going to please die-hard readers of the genre but it’s got a lot going for it.
