Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender

Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer

by Katie Alender

Paris, France: a city of fashion, chocolate croissants and cute boys.
Colette Iselin is thrilled be there for the first time, on her
class trip.

But a series of gruesome murders are taking place around the city,
putting everyone on edge. And as she tours the sights, Colette
keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered
wig, who looks like Marie Antoinette.

Colette knows her status-obsessed friends won't believe her, so she
seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they discover
that the murder victims are all descendants of people who
ultimately brought about Marie Antoinette's beheading. The queen's
ghost has been awakened, and now she's wreaking her bloodthirsty
revenge.
And Colette may just be one of those descendants . . . which means
she might not make it out of this trip alive.

"The Iselins were nobility. We were used to getting our own way and being surrounded by sumptuous settings. It was just in our blood."

I will say I was expecting far more paranormal, and mystery, and a lot less romance, and teenage mean girls.

I did like the parts where we got to go into the serial killers mind and see what she was doing and why she was doing it. I just wish those parts had been a bit longer.

The amount of times I want to slap Hannah throughout this whole story though got a bit out of hand. She was the typical mean girl in every sense of the meaning. Having said that though Collette was just as bad of a mean girl, and would do whatever she thought needed to be done to stay in Hannah's good graces.

I loved seeing Collette grow as a person throughout this book and realize that she didn't want to be like her so-called friends.

This was a nice light read for me. It was predictable at times, but still enjoyable.
