Book Review: Dead Against Her (Bree Taggert #5) By Melinda Leigh

 

Title: Dead Against Her (Bree Taggert #5)

Author: Melinda Leigh

Star: 3 1\2

Review:

I wish I could repeat the same line as I have for every single one of Melinda Leigh's books.  Dead Against Her book 5 in the series starts off with what you expect. A few dead bodies. The author covers a dark side of the social media and how it can affect someone personal life. While the book teaches readers that social media can paint a fake picture to the world around you.  The story and characters within the story fall flat as the story putters its way to the end like an old car. The story falls flat for what readers usually expect from this author.  The twist and turns the author created lack any excitement and in fact are very predictable.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy Dead Against Her by Melinda Leigh.
