Not really sure how to rate it, because I went in expecting something based off the synopsis and reviews but that's not what I got soo not quite sure how I feel. But for now I'll give this a 3.5
I finished the book in about 4-5 hours so it was gripping enough to hold my attention specially with me being in a reading slump.
I normally stay away from books which have cults in them because I end up not liking them almost all the time. The only exception to this was [b:The Last Housewife 59349100 The Last Housewife Ashley Winstead https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1649778403l/59349100.SY75.jpg 93510806] and this one. So you obviously know I recommend this.From the multiple chapters, I wasn't that interested in the before chapters (since they were solely based on the cult), but rather the aftermath of it and what was going on currently. Not many twists in the book because you know what is going on most of the time. I am not really sure what to think of the ending because that was totally unexpected I probably should've seen it coming but I didn't. And that caught me off guard.I'll definitely be picking up more books from this author. the main reason being, I keep seeing sooo many tiktoks of her books and I get major fomo so ill definitely be reading to see what the hype is all about:)
I really enjoyed reading this!
My first book by Sarah Pekkanen and from start to finish I was hookeddd, some parts had me in suspense and had me holding my breathe wondering what was gonna happen next.
The chapters are short and gripping enough that you can finish this in one setting, which is what I did.
Def recommend it!
Okay thats it now i know FOR SURE that I will like/love anything Elle Kennedy writes!
OMG I just love being a part of this world and these characters. I cant wait to continue with the rest of the seriess.
Ps. if i had 3 wishes i would want to read my fav books all over again(off campus is included DUH)
I spent some time trying to figure out what to write for this review, because I dont know where to start it:(
Soo hmm lemme see firstly it took me more than a YEAR to finish itt because it was so slow paced and it wasnt intresting enough to keep my attention, secondly there were so many povs and it was harder to distingusih some of them from each other because they sounded so similar, thirdly the ending....im not sure what to make of ittt.
The book started off strong, was very meh in the middle, thenn it picked up and i was intrested in wanting to know what happened next but I was so underwhelmed by the ending:(
I was so excited going into this book because it had all the elements I love in books; multiple povs, snowy setting,isolated.
The book started off strong but as it went on it kept going down, i started reading this on the 23rd of january 2023 and i got upto 45% after that it got boring and repetitive so i read a few pages here and there and finally decided to finish it last night.
Overall I would say it is an entertaining read but not as engaging as I would have liked.
The book was very gripping, and a fast pace that kept me hooked throughout .There were some parts included that I felt were there just to make the book longer.
I appreciated how it felt like a movie and the way it built an atmosphere of tension and suspense. However, the way it ended felt a bit too neatly packaged. It seemed simple, and even though I correctly guessed the creator of the chain, I was anticipating an additional twist that never came.
I read this authors other book The Island a while back and that was a 5 star! So will def be picking up more books from Adrian Mckinty soon!
