Who knew a book about a sex doll would make me so sad.
“Whatever he says, whatever he does, you need to remember that you are a brilliant, amazing person. You bend over backwards to please that man, and if he doesn't appreciate you, if he doesn't realize how special you are, then you just have to do whatever you need to do to protect your heart.”
This is a stunning book. I could feel Annie growing and evolving throughout the story. As Annie became more and more aware of her experience, her feelings, her desires... She became more discontent. So many metaphors for the female experience.
A truly stunning read. Will keep an eye out for this author.
No.
Least favorite Darcy book so far. I had a lot more hope for this with it being named Gallows Hill but no. No.
Why was this 377 pages long?
Margot is the most insufferable FMC I've ever read. I guess I'll have to try Iron Flame to see if that holds true.
Way too long. Too many attempts at descriptors of the haunted house and creepy atmosphere to the point where almost nothing actually happened in the book until about 80%.
What a stupid ending. The wine barrels had dead bodies in it? And every single generation before KNEW THE BODIES WERE THERE AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? What the actual fuck. I thought she was going to die at the end which would have made sense but alas...
Still don't understand why Margot got sent away by her parents, if they knew that no matter what she would be brought back to Gallows and then have NO IDEA HOW TO MANAGE IT.
Not worth the time it took to read, honestly.
Ok so first off Clare is sort of dry as dirt, seems to be a complete idiot, and just keeps completely fucking over Dorran. (Makes him kill her aunt then calls him a murderer and is pissed at him? Grow up.) I still think Dorran has something fucking sketchy going on... but you're telling me after 800 pages of them being stuck with each other AT THE END OF THE WORLD and they are now in love and engaged and basically married since there's no priests...... That they STILL shower separately, won't change in front of each other, and won't fuck? Please. I'm still eating this shit up though so I'll keep reading but just..... Darcy please. Most unrealistic thing about this sci fi horror end of the world book is that they aren't fucking yet. Clare should also seriously be dead I'm so sick of seeing her act up and Dorran miraculously have enough energy and random skills and perseverance to keep putting up with her bullshit.
