Quick Book Review of ASK FOR ANDREA
They say you should be careful about who you talk to online, and boy should you be.
We meet Meghan first, a year before. The scene opens with her being strangled and through a flashback it is learned that she had met her killer on MatchStrike, a dating app.
The guy who she thought was a green flag turns out to be really red. During the date, she goes to the bathroom, where there is a message advising women to ask for Andrea at the bar should they need rescuing from a bad date. Meghan thinks she's fortunate not to have to go through a bad date. As it turns out, she is in more trouble than she thought and ends up being killed.
We then meet Brecia and learn that she had been dating her killer for a long time before deciding he was too possessive and hand anger issues. She ends up being strangled by her own extension cord she was throwing away, a year after she broke up with her killer.
Next it is Skye who appears to be younger than the other two women. She is smitten by this one customer who looks like Chris Hemsworth. This is exactly the same description Meghan and Brecia have used to describe James. Brecia had also described him as Joaquin Phoenix.
Skye almost gives him her number but decides against it. He ends up giving her a ride and then killing her near the mountains.
Among all three, it is Brecia who decides to haunt James and enters his house to find out that he has a wife called April and two daughters. Apparently, his family his blissfully unaware of James' killer tendencies.
Told in the first person, the story is immersive and you will find yourself not only relating to the characters but also feeling sympathy for their plight.
The writing flows well and there is never a dull moment or excess words wasted to describe something irrelevant to the story. The book encompasses the thriller elements well and stitches it into the narrative so seamlessly that you will want to continue reading the book.
Should you pick up this book? Definitely.
The Plot (Taken from Amazon.com)
James Carson has gotten away with murder three times.
The only thing that might stop him from killing again? The three women he murdered.
He hunted them online, masquerading as an eligible bachelor. Then he played the perfect gentleman, a thick layer of charm and a thousand-watt smile hiding the fact that his first dates end in shallow graves.
What James doesn’t know is that his three victims have found each other. And that they're coming for him.
Brecia, Meghan, and Skye might be dead, but they’re not gone. And they won’t rest until they find a way to keep him from killing again.
The haunt is on.
