Lilibet Bombshell's Reviews > Memento Mori

Real Rating: 3.5/5 Stars


When I review and rate a book, the first thing I take into account is if I vibed with the book. If I don’t vibe with a book, I can’t read it. The second thing, and probably the most vital thing, is how much fun I had reading the book; or, if you want to look at it through a different lens, how much I enjoyed the book. That enjoyment can come in myriad forms. This book’s enjoyment just came in the form of it being a fun book to read.

Am I a sucker for New Orleans lore? Yes. Unashamedly so. Do I love the decentralized religions like Voudun and all types of witchcraft? Always have! Do I love haunted houses (especially plantation houses) and mysteries? Oh yes. Do I love serial killers? Ever since I was a kid!

Did I find the book revelatory? No. Romantic? Not really? Steamy or spicy the way I like it? Not really. Did I find it kind of obvious? Pretty much.

But it was fun to read. And therefore it wasn’t time wasted.
