Welcome to Litsy!

Oops. I was searching for something else at the library (don‘t remember what) and this came up in the search results. I thought it sounded like fun so I put it on hold. Today I took it out to start reading and noticed the “author of” a book with a suspiciously similar name on the cover. Sure enough, this is book 2 in a series. Why don‘t they just say that in the cover/subtitle? 🙄 Thankfully my library does have book 1 so I have it on hold now!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5 ⭐️s

This review is based on an #ARC given to me for free by the publisher via Edelweiss.

More demon summoning but without the Dorian Gray inspiration and hedonism. Liked the first one better - prohibition era is one of my least favorite settings.

Characters seemed hollow and the excerpt from the next book seemed even worse.

I love both! Lately I've taken to ebook way more. I can read with just some candles for light. As well as in the dark plus I can make the font as big as I want. I still love books of course and collect my favorites. I also always travel with at least one paperback. To me though a book is a book no matter the format. ☺ #muchlove #storyisastory #instagram #bookvsebook

So I'm one of those out of sight out of mind types. So this year I did my #popsugarchallenge book prompts into a 3rd grade sticker chart type situation. Tacked it above my bedside table so I remember to follow it (as best I can) this year. 😂🖤☺ #artproject #notmyforte #muchlove #goals #2019 #icandothis #maybe #chickenscratch

Really enjoyed this creepy speculative fiction story! Sinister diabolists trying to take over Long Island in Prohibition-era, with a kickass bootleggin‘ main female character! Similar to the author‘s previous book, Creatures of Will and Temper!

Molly Tanzer succeeds wonderfully in giving young women a voice - her female characters are diverse and the driving force of the story lies in their hands. A few reasons why you'll want to read Creatures of Want and Ruin: http://bit.ly/2CZgaF2
