“Career of Evil” by Robert Galbraith

CareerofEvil

I’m so hooked on this series. It’s killing me with the cliffhangers, and the creepy creepers, and the terrible fiancé! I love it. This one was a bit dark in the best way and I was legit creeped out. I really hate being scared by movies, but there’s something I love about being scared by books. Flashback to when I was a wee 9 year old, reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I was alone in my room and I reached the part where Tom Riddle rearranged the letters of his name to be Lord Voldemort. I was so scared, I had to stop reading and join the rest of my family in the living room. Shocker that, as a 28 year old, I was thoroughly creeped out, alone in my room, reading a book by the same damn author. JK – 2, Annie – 0.

“The Silkworm” by Robert Galbraith

Oh this was a fun one. And quite graphic, I might add! Props to RG/JK on that one. I loved that she set this in the winter time. It felt like a third character that just kept showing up to make everyone feel uncomfortable all the time. Once again, I had no freaking clue who did it until the end. That’s how I roll, though. I know the next installment is currently being written, and I am pretty stoked. This series has established itself as incredibly legit. I love the continuing dynamic between Robin and Strike. I love/hate the dumbass fiancé. I love Strike. They are such entertaining reads that I can see myself reading over again. I’m on a pretty solid murder mystery roll right now.
