The 23 short stories in this book revolve around the folklore of Baba Yaga. The stories demonstrate the ability to adapt a narrative around a subject. They are quick reads and authors share their own styles. It helps to understand the folklore of Baba Yaga to follow the context.


I received a free copy and am leaving a review voluntarily.
Thank you to Hidden Gems Books and author.

I have yet to read a book by Christina Henry that I have not enjoyed. Good Girls Don’t Die combines my love of strong female characters, cozy mysteries, horror, and suspense (also dystopian adventure… although I’m not a huge fan) and put it into a book that I didn’t know I wanted to read.

Stories were passed down to help people learn and as warnings, and I feel like this story, while filled with lots of pop culture references, is there to help girls/women not only realize the terrors in this world, but that they are strong, men will always underestimate them, and if they really do come together (and not let the patriarch/themselves get pitted against other women) they have a fighting chance.
Okay, now that I got the feminism part out of me, and something that I always enjoy looking at more deeply when I read Henry’s novels, let's get to the more fun stuff.

I feel like most readers (or TV/Movie watchers) have said or thought, “What a fool! I could solve the mystery/survive the killer/win the dystopian competition way better/faster than the main character.”
In Good Girls Don’t Die, the main characters get the chance, but the threat is real and there will be violence and death and they may not survive.

The book is broken into four sections, and while it started a bit slow, mainly because I had no idea what was going on and I was getting my footing with the book. But towards the middle of section one, the book took off, and just kept getting better.

If you are looking for a fast read that probably covers at least one of the genres you enjoy, along with some great woman power and some feminism (If you really want to think that deep about it), then I highly recommend Good Girls Don’t Die… and really any book by Christina Henry.

In Christina Henry's latest thriller, three different women find themselves precariously trapped and living inside their favorite genres — mystery, horror & dystopian — but how, and by whom? I enjoyed this original and exciting twist on the thriller novel. I went into this book not knowing much about the plot, and that's the best way to enjoy it.

I greatly admired the bravery and smarts of the heroines. I would have been freaking out had I been in any one of their situations, but they showed great resolve. I was on pins and needles waiting to see how their stories fit together. My one complaint had to do with the ending. I felt like it was abrupt and didn't answer nearly enough questions about the wildness I had just experienced! An epilogue would have been a nice addition. Still, I found this thriller to be refreshingly original and well written.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book. Thoughts are my own.
