BRIDE OR DIE
-Madison Score
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Early 2000s rom com meets murder in this stunning debut by Madison Score! Meet Claire Hartley, independent badass who, much like you and I, loves love. After the disappointing proposal she experienced, Claire decides to start a business dedicating her life to ensuring outstanding, personal proposals so that no one should understand the depressing manner in which she was once proposed to.
Following Claire’s busy season, Claire stumbles into trouble while planning THE proposal for her best friend. When filmmaker, Luke, enters her life, stubborn and correct, as her videographer, Claire can’t fathom working with him… Until she realizes she might be in danger, and Luke is always there to rescue her. With a list of local missing women, a nemesis fighting for her title, and an ex blowing up her phone, Claire is frantic.
Luckily, her friends and her dog, Rosie, are always there to comfort her.
This story was charming, hilarious, and captivating. Written in third person point of view, Madison Score still manages to keep readers immersed, which personally for me is more difficult to say. I am not the best with reading third person, but Madison Score knocked it out of the park. Her writing was creative, quirky, and fun, through and through.
Claire was a fun heroine. I loved her. With slightly annoying and quirky tendencies, she’s a perfect fictional heroine. She brings life to the story, and everyone around her is equally thought out in their own ways.
Luke Islestorm, the hero, is protective, thoughtful and challenging, and even though some of us (maybe just me) don’t typically fall for the former player types, he pulled on my heart strings.
This story was quirky, fun, lively, and fast paced. It was a phenomenal debut, a great read, and beautifully executed. I’m a sucker for the cutesy, fun types—especially when they involve murder. Romantasy—try Romanthiller… is that a thing? I loved it and can’t wait to read more of Madison Score.
Thanks Madison Score & to Rick for the ARC!❤️ I am looking forward to picking up a copy of this upon release and adding it to my collection!
