Sophie Reads: Dark Places by Gillian Flynn


Hey Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well! Today, I have another exciting book review for you all! This Sophie Reads is Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. She is the author of Gone Girl which I have also read and I had mixed feelings about. But I have heard about this book for quite sometime and I was curious to see what it was about. Let me just say that this book is not a joyous book. It is extremely dark and it makes you think and question every little step that the main character, Libby Day makes.    

                                                                  
Summary:
Libby Day was eight years old when her mother, and two sisters were brutally murdered. Her older brother, Ben Day was convicted of the brutal murders. Twenty-five years later, a club called the Kill Club has asked Libby Day to look back on the horrible tragedy.  The Kill Club believes Ben is innocent and someone else is the murderer. Libby goes on a suspenseful journey to find out the truth of that fateful night.

Overview:
Throughout this whole book, I was constantly feeling a sense of dread. This book was fast pace, intense and at the end, the reader would never expect what happens. Personally, I think I liked this book a little bit better than Gone Girl. The reason why is because it was a murder mystery. This book is not a book to read at night honestly, because it is so dark and morbid. But it is a pretty fast read because you want to know who is the killer? Was it Ben Day? Or someone else.
What I also enjoyed about this book was you never really knew what was going to happen. A different twist than Gone Girl and I think that is why I enjoyed Dark Places instead.

I hope you all have enjoyed this blog post of another Sophie Reads. I recommend this book if you are a fan of Gillian Flynn but also if you are a fan of a murder mystery. This will definitely keep you on your toes.

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night where ever you are. If you have any recommendations for books please comment! I would love to keep this series is going.

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health p...
