Welcome to Litsy!

Some of the #bookoutlet haul.

Never come to the box alone. Never open it after dark. Never take back your sacrifice.

This was a seriously cool horror story, with lots of scares, gore and 'ick' moments, I loved it. It did feel a little slow in places but the action made up for it.

4⭐'s. This was a very interesting book. It was creepy enough that I enjoyed it. I liked the humor in it, especially anything Arkle had to say.

The plot is not really clear it seems more about school life than a sacrifice box the character's aren't relatable they're kind of just stereotypes

Goodreads said this book was a mixture of stranger things and all the 80s greats, so you know I had to grab it.

Officially book two for my spooky tbr list!

People are hurt. Misery, pain, upset. That‘s what happens when you break a promise.

He hugged her. Her hair tickled his nose, but he let it sit there as she cried, thinking of the times she‘d held him, in the quiet space that was only theirs.

You think you were the first ones to find it? Never come to the box alone. Never open it after dark. Never take back your sacrifice.‘

‘At some point you‘ll have to let people love you. You can‘t hide behind the books forever.‘

‘What do you want to be when you grow up?‘ She shrugged, then gave him a squint smile that spun the ground under his feet. ‘Happy,‘ she said,

“Big men do not have wooden balls. Kick him there and he will sink like a lead balloon,”

‘He‘s just angry at life. He needs a reality wedgie now and then.‘

‘So everyone has stuff to be dealing with. Just know, no matter the happenings, that love will win in the end‘

‘Do not hate, Sep. The only thing there is in the world, at the end, is love.

The rest of them laughed the noisy, fake laugh of the henchman.
