Always love a good time travel story. This one was pretty standard, no major high stake events to prevent, but I quite liked the quiet simplicity of it. It was an interesting exploration of toxic masculinity too.

3.5 stars. That was dark and twisty. Can't say I enjoyed it, but I couldn't look away either.

4.5 stars. Great thriller with enough twists and turns to keep me hooked. Almost 5 stars - but I guessed some of them.

Pure joy!

I loved the moody, eerie atmosphere, the mysterious Ashley and Cordova, and falling down the rabbit hole of red herrings, the occult and questionable sanity. I just wasn't satisfied with the ending. I needed a more definitive conclusion.

4.5 stars

I always have a fun time with John Marrs.

I was expecting a run of the mill domestic thriller, but this was surprisingly darker (much darker!) then I thought it would be.

That was definitely not a horror book. Cosy fantasy I'd say.

4.5 stars. I'm a blubbering mess after that!

Frivolous good fun I say

Fascinating discussions about law, religion, how the two intercept and the inevitable consequences.

Nope. Weird fever dream pandemic novel.

That was awful.

4.5 stars. An adventurous gothic fairytale. Brontë meets Beauty and the Beast meets Alice in Wonderland meets Stranger Things. Super fun.

Wow! I can't believe this is the same author who wrote “The Favourite Sister.” That was abysmal. Bright Young Women on the other hand is smart and sensitive, giving the victims of a monster a voice and autonomy. Bravo Jessica Knoll.

4.5 stars. Love Janice Hallett books. Such fun!

There was way too much petty arguing and fighting in this instalment. The characters just got annoying. It could have been at least 200 pages shorter too.

4.5 stars. Extra half star for her courage. Go Britney!

A beautiful love letter to books

Very atmospheric and creepy, but used a plot device that is just ick

That was the perfect spooky season read. My favourite Riley Sager so far! So much fun.

4.5 stars. That was good fun. Despicable characters, but oh how we love to hate them.

It took me a while to get into this, but the slow burn paid off. Thoroughly enjoyed.

3.5 stars. This was a decent thriller. I thought I knew who the baddie was, but I was wrong (haha). The writing frustrated me a little - the story went off on tangents when it should have just gotten to the point. Now to watch the Netflix series.
