Why would a plastic faced serial killer want to off PTA moms? Dollface is a suburban slasher where no one is safe! Jill is a horror author who is new in town and hoping to make some friends. Her obnoxious new neighbor, did I say obnoxious? I meant to say assertively friendly new neighbor, invites her to join the school’s PTA. All the PTA moms are picture perfect with their fully made-up faces and perfect outfits.
The blood begins to fly before the first bake sale! Someone is killing the moms, but who and why???? If horror and gore are not for you, this book is not too scary or gory. Yes, there are some death scenes but if you close one eye while reading, I promise who will get through it unscathed.
Lindy Ryan loves her horror, and this book was on the horrific side. Again, more light horror, but heavy on the creepy and bizzarro characters. Fans of Lindy Ryan may enjoy this one. Bless Your Heart remains my favorite book by this author. Having said that, Dollface was a bloody enjoyable book with an original premise which delivered an eerie vibe, creepy scenes, and dread.
Side note – Am I the only one who thought Jill’s overly friendly next-door neighbor might look like Bette Davis in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? That is the image I had of her for the entire book.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press | Minotaur Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
