I just finished my first book of the year and it was alright. Dead Girls are Easy by Terri Garey wasn’t the best novel I’ve read in awhile, but it did keep me reading. I’m also hesitate to call it a part of the paranormal genre. The idea of voodoo is border line paranormal in my opinion. It’s a religion and not really a legend or a myth. You can actually go places and find someone who still believes in it and probably still practices it. Hit New Orleans and I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of voodoo shops.
I guess when I think paranormal, I expect to see vampires or werewolves or some kind of magic. In Dead Girls are Easy, you have a goth-minded girl who almost dies and now sees dead people. It sounds a little like Sixth Sense to me, but with a romantic twist to it. Girl almost dies in the ER…sees hunky doctor…sparks fly and there is romance. It’s not really something new and it’s kind of disappointing really. Just looking at the cover you expect to see something relating to vampires. I mean, the cover has a crypt on it and the title does say dead girls. Maybe I expected too much out of the title, but the story was mediocre.
