This spooky season, we’re getting dolled up! In SHE’S A DOLL by Barbara Truelove, we’re talking about female rage, murderous dolls, and why sometimes the best way to deal with a killer is to become his worst nightmare. Plus, Brittney gives us a crash course in the Maasverse, and Jason compares this book to a certain bubbly beverage. What beverage? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Synopsis

Lucy isn’t a normal girl. Ghost. Victim. Killer. She’s a doll on a mission—to find the man who killed her and return the favor.

Lucy McQuinn has been murdered, but she’s not about to go quietly.

If she doesn’t get to keep breathing, then neither does Kyle, her killer. Possessing the body of an antique doll, she sets out on a quest for revenge. But it’s hard when you’re eighteen inches tall and made of porcelain.

For help, she turns to Nicola, a human and fellow outsider with her own reasons to hate Kyle. But in their small idyllic town, no one wants to hear the truth, especially not about such a promising young man. If they can’t expose his crimes, Lucy will have to roll up her lacy little sleeves and teach him a lesson the old-fashioned way—as slowly and painfully as possible.
