New Orleans

Catacomb by Madeleine Roux is the third in the Asylum series.  Just looking up the series now I see that I have missed the novellas.  Thing is, while I was just going to write that I really enjoyed this book and the series in general, and I really did!  I think that these novellas are good and bad.  There are a lot of books with the whole novella thing going on:  Delirium, Divergent, Selection, and a lot more.  And even for kids, like Wonder.  Even with a book like Wonder, which I loved, loved, loved, I still haven't read the latest novella. I think that some of the novellas I have read were really good for holding me over until the next one, or a nice surprise when I thought that was the end.  But more and more I kinda think they are just money-making deals, you know?  And while I did really, really enjoy this series.  It is believable with likable characters and creepy, I just don't think that I am drawn enough to the story that I will go back and read the novellas I have missed in this series.  Still, the three main books are worth reading, for sure, if you like creepy and paranormal. I liked that this book was set in New Orleans, a favorite city of mine.  I have only been there once!  But I mean it is also a favorite city for a book setting!  I wish there would have been more focus on the New Orleanishness, that the city was tied into the book even more, but still, it was cool.
