Review of 'Lucky Girl, How I Became a Horror Writer' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Ro has had a difficult life and faced more tragedy than most people at a young age.
She meets a group of strangers at a diner and they form a bond over their shared loneliness that spans several Christmases.
As the years pass the bond never deepens enough to reveal dangerous secrets until it's too late.
This is a tough one to review, I feel like Ro is the only character I really got to know but I suppose there are reasons for that since we can't be let in on the secrets before she is. The pace was a little slow for such a short book but the payoff at the end was worth it. I would recommend it to readers who like holiday horror but Krampus doesn't make much of an appearance here.
