Thriller Novella Book Review
Sins of Christie by Linette King
Available on Kindle Unlimited
Linette King's name has been heavily rotated in my black girl thriller/horror reading group. Her entire catalog has been devoured and all anyone can say is "She's that girl".
I decided to start with a novella so that I could get a feel for her writing style and story building.
In hindsight I should have went with a full-length story because I NEEDED more.
This quick little novella follows three women Jasmine, Christie, and Rochelle.
I didn't like Jasmine at all. She's married to a controlling man who is up to no good. Corporate corruption shit at an Elon Musk level.
Rochelle I respect. She saw an opportunity and went for it. Sadly, she was a bit too impulsive and didn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
Then there's my girl Christie. Pretty sure she has Alexithymia (Emotional Blindness). Poor thing just doesn't know how to interact with others or read a room. She meant well.
This is a very fast paced story that is exciting and leaves you wanting.
