Good Girls Don’t Die

Ryn Johnstone

The little girl's bedroom had posters of Korean pop stars and a pile of soccer gear in the corner.

The kind of guy who lifts weights and drinks protein shakes as his personal identity, Celia thought. He probably hasn't eaten a carbohydrate since he graduated from high school.

Something flitted across the front of her brain, a memory moving with the speed of a darting rabbit.

A sharp pain followed in the wake of this, a pain that shot like electricity behind her eyes and made her bend over, gasping.

That's what this feels like, Celia thought. A story. Like one of the many cozy mysteries I've read over the years.

A moment later there was a rush of cool air, followed by snatches of murmured conversation.

The feeling that something wasn't right with the photos was like an eyelash in her eye, gritty irritation that made her blink and blink and blink.

Cool, just shatter the fourth wall into oblivion. We didn't need it anyway!!

Her brain trailed off. She was in what, exactly? She wasn't a fictional character on the page of a bestseller.

I'll find them all, she thought. Whoever is doing this, if it's Pete or someone else, I'll find out. I'm smart and I'm capable and I'm not going to let some asshole run me over.

She minded when this happened but didn't show it, because bleeding was something best done internally, preferably in private.

Honestly, I feel that. It's like it's thinking about doing what is asked and then thinks "nah, not today."

"Calling an Uber," she had said, but the Uber app wouldn't even open. She'd stared at the gray twirling circle that indicated the phone was thinking, or processing, or whatever the fuck it did when it didn't give you what you wanted.

Same, but I think it isn't the time to turn a new page in this situation. Be the depressing bitch and save yourself the mental pain.

But often she didn't have an alternative, just an objection, and she didn't think it was fair just to be the naysayer all the time.

This is so true. You can be dumb, but no one else has to be tough because of you.

Stupidity was sometimes just as dangerous as malice.

My first thriller/suspense novel! I enjoyed 2/3 of this book. It instantly pulled me in with an interesting and unpredictable storyline, but I was let down by the ending. 

The plots were very interesting, and it was enjoyable. However, i didn't enjoy it enough to rate it a 4 or above.

From the bestselling author of Alice, three women find themselves trapped inside fictional worlds and must fight to survive in this groundbreaking locked-room thriller. Celia wakes up in a house that isn't hers. She doesn't recognize her husband or the little girl who claims to be her daughter. She tries to remember who she was before, because she is certain that this life—the little family-run restaurant she owns, the gossipy small town she lives in—is not her own. Allie is supposed to be on a fun weekend trip—but then her friend's boyfriend unexpectedly invites the group to a remote cabin in the woods. The cabin looks recently assembled and there are no animals or other life anywhere in the forest. Nothing about the place seems right. Then, in the middle of the night, someone bangs on the cabin door... Maggie, along with twelve other women, wakes up in a shipping container with the number three stamped on the back of her T-shirt. If she wants to see her daughter Paige again, Maggie must complete The Maze—a deadly high-stakes obstacle course. Three women. Three stories. Only one way out...
