Seven, Eight...Gonna Stay Up Late (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
It was difficult not buying the next book in the series. The story is addictive. Rebekka Franck is a reporter. She is dating a photographer. He wants a child with her and she is hesitant. Meanwhile, there is a kidnapping of a young girl from a rock concert. The kidnapper is truly horrifying as he prepares the young girl and her friend for a meal, that is, he intends to eat them. But Rebecca Frank is also on the menu. He tricks her into becoming part of his captured prey. Turns out the first young girl is no ordinary teenager. She has connections, which doesn't help her at all. In fact, her connections are what drove the killer to do what he did. I really don't know why I finished reading this book. I usually put something like this on my shelf entitled, "life is too short to read bad books" without finishing it. But I did finish it. I don't like books that ask me to suspend all reality in order to advance the story. I don't think I'm including any spoilers, but to take pills from a stranger, to hand a stranger a business card instead of saying, "if you see anything, please call the police," or to start talking into a phone without waiting to hear who's on the other end is just ridiculous. A stupid 14-year old taking pills from a stranger. Okay. But an adult doing the rest lacks all common sense and if it lacks common sense, it's just not believable to me. Will not be reading any of the other books in the series.
What do You think about Seven, Eight...Gonna Stay Up Late (2013)?
This one was NOT as great as the others. By the end of the book, *I* wanted to kill Rebekka!

The most terrifying in the series so far! Crime drama taken to a new level of creepy!
