What. T h e. F U C K. did I just read?! I don’t even know how to properly rate this book. This was 10/10 the weirdest, most disturbing book I’ve ever read in my life. It started off fairly normal – a pandemic sweeps across the nation and changes life as everyone knows it (much like COVID) – but then shit starts getting certifiably fucked. It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]
I hadn’t heard of this book before until I was searching for books narrated by Bahni Turpin (one of my fave narrators!) and this popped up. It sounded intriguing…and it was! It was a weird but fascinating read, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I never read Annihilation, but I did see the movie, and it was also weird AF but also interesting and unusual. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but the premise is so unique […]
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 […]
This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I wanted SO badly to get on the Illumicrate sub for this book, but I was on the waitlist for months and missed it (I missed Song of Silver, too *cries*). Then, after it was released, I had a hard time getting my hands on it. There’s no audio available in the US (which is odd)… I guess it doesn’t release here until September. There’s no ebook, either (also not out […]
TW: Rape and sexual assault, child molestation, physical abuse I’m not gonna lie, I probably never would have picked this up if my book twin Christy hadn’t recommended it. That cover is awful, sorry. But I’m glad I did give it a try! This book had some major A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder vibes, which is the kind of mystery I’ve been after ever since I read it. It even featured the same narrator, Bailey Carr (who is fantastic, […]
This is not typically something I would actively choose to pick up, as I am not a big fan of Historical Fiction; but the reviews are so good and everyone raves about it, so I thought I’d give it a try. I wanted so badly to love this one like everyone else did. However, despite the heartbreaking content of this book, the emotion was just not there for me. And it absolutely should have been. I found the writing and characters […]
