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 […]
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 […]
Wow, what a wild ride!! I honestly didn’t know much about this book going in. Ryan La Sala has been at YALLfest a couple of times and will be back again this year, and I’ve had at least one of his books on my TBR for a while. I don’t even remember how this one popped up on my radar, but whatever drew my attention was enough to make me go request it from Libby immediately. I actually loved going […]
I am so incredibly disappointed. This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases. The concept was super cool and unique! Reintgen always writes books unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I loved the scientific magic system and thought it was interesting how there were wands and other vessels used to store basically magic, and they had to be recharged with a kind of points system (it sounded like ‘ocklies’ but I have no idea how to spell it) to […]
This one was overall just meh and not at all memorable. I had been craving mystery-esque kind of books when I picked this one up, and I guess I was just wanting (and expecting) much more from this story. It was lacking the driving intrigue of a great mystery that keeps you reading because it’s, y’know, mysterious, and you want to know more. This one did not have that at ALL. It’s labeled as a thriller but wasn’t even the […]
