The Maidens

Wrote a review for

Murder mystery with a big emphasis on grief.

I felt the connection to The Silent Patient to be a bit unnecessary. Or if it had to stay in, just that Zoe ended up in the Grove too ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠`⁠)⁠┌

Still really liked the mystery!

The Perfect Marriage

Wrote a review for

Honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. I only finished it out of sheer spite. All the characters are dumb as rocks, the author knows nothing about the legal system, also the random ghost sex???? Don't waste your time horrible read

Natural Beauty

Wrote a review for

Sapphic body horror that explores the beauty industry, music, and what it's like being Asian American. Would recommend!

This Ravenous Fate

Wrote a review for

I really wanted to like this book but I didn't care about any of the characters really. I think it was written poorly but had a good premise

Call your mom.


A whodunit mystery on a one way space trip spliced with flashbacks of our mcs experience as an Asian American "hafu" and her relationships on earth.

The Housemaid

Wrote a review for

3.5 rounded up. The first half of the book I was more annoyed than interested but I did really like the twist and the ending. Don't think I'll read any of the other books in the series tbh

Pretty good, the twist was surprising but the grapefruit bit annoyed me as someone who's been on anti-psych meds before tho

Eileen

Wrote a review for

Eileen is perverted and unsettling. Throughout the whole book there is an eerie sense of foreboding as she slowly leads up to the crime.

Definitely well written and I do think books that make you uncomfortable have merit, I just didn't enjoy the ride as much as I had hoped I would.

Verrrrrrrry weird sci-fi! I didn't really understand everything that was happening but I also couldn't stop thinking about it!

Retreat

Wrote a review for

Definitely more disappointing after reading a book with very similar plots. Our main character lies and cheats her way into a seemingly perfect life only to have the rich woman they're lying to also be manipulating them in return. Not a bad read but I saw the twist coming a mile away.

While I liked the show I hated having Joe inside my head.... The stream of consciousness narration also got a bit sloppy and difficult to follow at times.

Absolution

Wrote a review for

Its always scary when one of your fav trilogies gets a new book 10 years later ... Of course I expected ending with more questions than answers! Overall it was fun to add a bit more context to this universe. Looking forward to the next one Jeff has planned!
