From the author of the critically acclaimed cult novel Anonymous, comes a dark, psychological, suspenseful thriller about love and loss.
Meet Jeffrey.
Jeffrey is turning 40. He has a good job, a loving wife, and a beautiful house. When the love of his life passes suddenly, his seemingly normal world turns upside down.
The sudden death, along with his midlife crisis, causes Jeffrey to grieve the five stages in unnatural ways. He trades in his Toyota Corolla for a Corvette, smokes pot with the neighbor kid, and dresses up in cheerleader outfits with his pals William and Lena in order to feel young and beautiful.
William and Lena agree to do whatever it takes to help Jeffrey during his grief, even when it means committing minor crimes such as burglary.
All is kosher until William notices a downward change in Jeffrey. Distraught by memories of his wife, and despite William's and Lena's best efforts, Jeffrey begins to slowly derail into a dark place that only he could get out of. An internal battle with his emotions and himself, Jeffrey takes matters into his own hands to pull through.
Drama Dolls is an intimate, dark, psychological, suspenseful thriller about loss and obsession, survival and grief, and the desiring need to take control of your own life.

Drama Dolls is a slow motion train wreck that right until the last quarter of the book slowly unpacks the layers of reason behind why Jeffrey dresses up as a cheer leader and breaks into houses. The narrative jumps nicely between Jeffrey the guy mourning his lost wife & Brittany the drama doll, Jeffrey's alter-ego.
This novel is captivating, depressing, entertaining & at times shocking. Everything one wants in a transgressive tale. Enjoyable!
This was one of my first audio books in a long time. It took almost half the book before I stopped hating the voice reading it to me. I particularly didn't like his "female" voice. At times I struggled to keep up with the story as I was so distracted by my dislike of the voice, but that may not be such an issue for others.
A mid-life crisis on steroids.

During the course of the plot, readers cheer him on, even though he is robbing houses to keep him sane.
And although Jeffrey's actions are self-serving, readers discover the true reason behind his motives.
The author does a fantastic job keeping the reader engaged in order to deliver the ending in a way that the reader never sees it coming.
A dark love story at its finest!
Excellent story about grief!

Jeffrey loses his wife and takea comfort in his little group of friends, who call themselves the Drama Dolls and spend their evenings dressed as cheerleaders to burglarize houses on the market to be sold.It took me a while to get into the story due to the writer's style. It was not that it was not told in a correct way, just that it was confusing at times. This is the story about how Jeffrey copes with his pain, and how this pain can make people connect. It was beautifully told and I have to admit that the book ended too abruptly for me, and the easy way out was disappointing. The only character that was deeply explored was Jeffery's. William and Lena were the other two characters but they remain quite flat and it is difficult to connect to them. We just see Jeffrey's pain but not how his mind is processing it, which could have helped to complement the end.
Tom Kruse's voice and style felt a strange choice for this novel, and it took me some time to get used to it. It was quite monotone, but this could have been the original intention, since this book tells harsh facts in a very plain way.
This was a different book but I would have appreciated more development on the characters and the story.
A story about coping with grief

The narrator, Tom Kruse, would not have been who I selected although I'm not sure of the authors vision for the audiobook. The narrator sounded like a deep-voiced older gentlemen speaking in a very soothing and mono-toned voice that brings a calming feeling to an otherwise very creepy story, which may have very well been the authors intent. However, I was a little disappointed as I felt as if someone with a little more inflection had narrated, there could have been an even more heightened intensity to the story.

What an intense novel. Tanamor has crafted a tale that comes off as if one is wearing a suit of depression and insanity. The whole time listening to this audiobook I felt like I was trapped within Jeffrey's downward spiral. This is not a book, this is an emotion. One that I could not stop listening to.Not only did this book consume my thoughts and mental state while listening to it, but it is also extremely well written. The details were masterly crafted, and I was easily pulled into scenes and situations that were uncomfortable and strange for me. The characters have voice, and they feel alive. There were more than a few times that I wanted to grab onto Jeffrey and shake him; scream at him to get a grip on his failing mentality. I also found other moments when I wanted to punch William in the face and tell him to back the f**k off.
Yes, this is a novel of dark spaces. It is about one man’s loss and how he tries to come to terms with this loss. It is also a story of love, and what friends are willing to do to help one in a time of need. The question this book asks is how far is too far when it comes to grieving, and who will break first, Jeffrey or William?
Absolutely amazing novel. The ending wraps it all up beautifully, and is quite shocking.
Five out of five stars for this dark novel.
Now for the man reading the novel Tom Kruse, I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. I found his voice oddly soothing, despite the dark material he was reading about.
