spotlight sunday- titles of books

 

 

book titles we...

My name is Cyn and each Sunday (not to mention Thurdays and Fridays) myself and my BBFF (the extra B is for book LOL) Ann from over at Romancing the Readers blog together. 

Today we are "spotlighting" books with titles we aren't crazy about. This is no reflection on the book itself- rather than an opinion about the title. We also understand that many times the author has no control over the cover or title. We also typically won't offer much in the way of any explanation about our choices.

I don't like this title, I think it's bland and does not connect really with the book itself, except to say it's the name of the town the story takes place in. That said, this book was pretty good with an interesting main character that I really liked. I was left with some questions at the end but that's okay. 

Antioch used to be a quiet small town where nothing bad ever happened. Now six women have been savagely murdered. The media dubs the killer "Vlad the Impaler" due to the gruesome crime scenes of his victims. Clues are drying up fast and the hunt for the monster responsible is hitting a dead end.

After picking up a late-night transmission on her short-wave radio, a local bookseller named Bess becomes convinced a seventh victim has already been abducted. Bess is used to spending her nights alone reading about Amelia Earhart conspiracy theories, and now a new mystery has fallen in her lap: one she might actually be able to solve.

Assuming she doesn't also wind up abducted.
