If I could use one word to describe this book, it would be….gross. But like, in the most delightful way possible! (If you like gory stuff, that is. If you don’t, this book is absolutely not for you.) I love really dark disturbing shit, so this one was right up my alley! I loved how grotesque and gruesome this book was. I knew in the first chapter I was going to love that part of the story. And love it I […]
This was an atmospheric and entertaining read! I don’t have much to say about it other than I enjoyed it. The narration was really good – I found the narrator to be engaging and she did a great job bringing the story to life. The air of mystery kept me invested, and there were plenty of twists along the way to keep me on my toes. I like that things were revealed slowly, giving just enough to keep you intrigued […]
Holy shit, this book was insane!! I honestly have no idea, even after finishing, what was actually true and what wasn’t. The title is apt because there were so many lies you never knew what to believe! I’ve been seeking out more mystery thrillers lately, but I don’t have much experience with psychological thrillers. I ended up loving it because it totally fucks with your head. It started off a little slow, but once crazy things start happening, it grabs […]
I have very mixed feelings about this book. For one, it gets pretty fucking weird at one point (actually, it reminded me of the strange and trippy end of Interstellar, but like…on steroids) and I feel like there was too much going on. This book was a very ambitious attempt at a broad opera spanning timelines, a la Cloud Atlas and Sea of Tranquility. Actually, I’d just listened to the latter only about a month before I picked this one […]
This is a fairly difficult book for me to review, because I absolutely hate that I didn’t love it. This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases…why, you ask? Sentient. computer-savvy. cats. And that cover?! SIGN ME TF UP. And the cat part of it? Fucking AWESOME. That was by far the selling point of this book for me, and it’s what kept me going when things got rocky. I absolutely ADORED Hera (and Persephone, but we don’t get much of […]
Won’t most of us die in fairly unclimactic ways, our passing unremarked by almost everyone, our deaths becoming plot points in the narrative around us? I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, but between FANTASTIC narration and one of the single most mind blowing twists I’ve ever read, I really enjoyed it! It reminded me a lot of Cloud Atlas, spanning multiple stories across multiple timelines that all interconnect and come together in the end in […]
