Invisible (↑)

I've finished another book: Invisible by Lorena McCourtney. It's a mystery novel. At first however, I wasn't sure what it was. The main character is a LOL (little old lady) and she talks about old age and becoming invisible. It wasn't until about 60-ish pages in that it actually started being more and more mystery-like. It kept my attention throughout, and it was nice to have a character that wasn't a detective or a 'damsel-in-distress', but rather an elderly lady with gumption. I wasn't sure what to expect seeing as it was a free ebook, but I think I might have to find the 2nd book in the Ivy Malone series and read it. I guess the only downfall of the book was that it had quite a few storylines/mysteries as well as extra characters so I think it would've been better to tie down 1 storyline and add as much detail as possible to it, and leave the other storylines for other parts of the series.

This story follows LOL Ivy Malone who has a mutant curiosity gene. Her best friend dies, and she realizes that she has become invisible and starts doing a stake-out at the local cemetery to catch vandals. When the renter next door turns up missing and a body of a young lady is found in the river, Ivy decides to put two-and-two together and helps the police solve multiple mysteries including who's been vandalizing the cemetery as well as who the young lady in the river is.

I like this book, and I will probably keep it. But because it's a mystery, I always find that kind of dumb, because when you go to re-read it, you always tend to remember the ending and it ruins the point of reading it. But oh well. I guess I can share it around.

Anyway, until next time, Happy Reading!
