Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Memorials.

I love the author's Boogeyman series so I was excited my request was approved.

Memorials was less a supernatural tale and more a story about three similar, yet very different college students coping with personal loss,

Mr. Chizmar is a great writer and excels at describing small town suburban life. He spend ample time developing Melody, Troy, and Billy as believable and realistic characters. And I loved the 80s setting.

I enjoyed the supernatural element of the story; it was creepy and unsettling. Anything based on cults creeps me out!

What I didn't like; the long exposition, the descriptions of small town life, Billy's reminiscences and flashbacks, which I know adds to the context and vibe of the story.

I just wanted to get to the scary parts, but that's just me.

I liked this, but I didn't love it, which was a bummer. I hope Mr. Chizmar's next book is about the Boogeyman.

This book really did a number on me. This book has me guessing all the through it. This one feels different from what I've read this far from Richard Chizmar, but definitely in a good way.

Road trip to record roadside accidents and twists and turns and set in the early 80s....yes please!


I can't wait for the release so I can do it again with the audiobook hopefully!
