The Broken Girls

I give this one a solid 3 stars. Like most of Simone St James' books that I've read, Broken Girls gets a 5 for atmosphere and setting. She knows how to set a scene. And she knows how to give you the creepy-crawls. She also is very good at backstory. Unfortunately, all that doesn't totally make up for the plot lines and reveals that are pretty easy to spot from a mile away. It's a good book. But I figured everything out a couple hundred pages in and there wasn't anything left for me after that. Same can be said for Lost Among The Living. I'll read anything else she writes. If you like Historical Gothic Mysteries I recommend this book. If you're looking for a challenge, keep looking.
