“You don’t have to be good. You just have to be better than the bad you’ve done.” So, I really thought (and hoped) that I would love this book more. It wasn’t bad or anything, I just found it overall mediocre and was expecting a lot more. I actually started this book on audio – my preferred format – and for some reason I could NOT focus on it to save my life. I kept zoning out and having to […]
I saw that this book had a connection to Bone Houses, which I enjoyed a lot, so I was pretty excited to read it. Unfortunately, this one was absolutely nothing like Bone Houses. I wouldn’t even have known they were in the same world if I hadn’t seen it in the synopsis. (I have learned by now that Emily Lloyd-Jones books are very hit or miss for me; and like The Hearts We Sold, this one was also a miss.) They’re […]
This book was one of those that I enjoy while reading and then never think about it again. Mostly I just enjoyed the murder mystery aspect and the setting. The vibe of this book was by far my favorite part! I loved the bayou/backwoods southern gothic atmosphere of this book. The fiddle that brought ghosts back was awesome, too! I wish there had been a lot more of that, because those parts are where this book really shines. Sadly, the […]
This is one of those kinds of books that I enjoy while reading, but forget about entirely in a short amount of time. It’s not a story that will stick with me. I liked the way all three women’s stories tied together, as well as the history of the Weyward women and the magic they possessed. The connections were the driving point for this book, because there really wasn’t much else going on plot-wise. This book is more or less […]

Well, that was certainly an ending. For the most part this book was pretty dull. It’s a lot of buildup for a rather disappointing climax. First, I do want to say: The audiobook is fantastic! All my stars are for the narration. I am 100% certain I never would have made it through this book if I hadn’t been listening. It’s in epistolary format (if you want a good epistolary, just read Illuminae instead), and I did see that some […]
