Welcome to Litsy!

“Everybody‘s got good and bad inside of them.”

This book was rather good. There were a few twists I didn't see coming and I did enjoy the supernatural elements. Would recommend.

I was somehow sent 2 copies of The First Mistake by Sandie Jones and Gravity is the Thing by Jaclyn Moriarty. Would anyone be interested in either or both? I will gladly send them out to you! First come first served 😊 Drop me a line if you're interested!

Between Avengers: Endgame on Friday and Game of Thrones tonight, my emotions need a break.

Thanks to LibraryThing Early Reviewer for a copy of this book for honest review. Setting is Catskills NY. Alice is fleeing an abusive relationship with 10 year old Oren. Social worker, Mattie, takes them in her house for the night. Mattie has secrets of her own and each woman‘s past stirs up threats. Strong characters and gripping suspense. Brings problems of domestic abuse to the the foreground and shows how community can help. Harrowing tale!

Carol Goodman is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine, as I really enjoy the atmosphere and pacing of everything she writes. Her latest, The Night Visitors, is no exception. While the ending was a bit too tidy and some of the resolutions of the various plot lines were a bit too coincidental for my taste, I did find this one to be well-written, quick-paced, and engaging. I loved the characters of Mattie and Oren. Two thumbs up! 👍👍

I really enjoyed the first half of this story. It was compelling with both dramatic and suspenseful elements. I was eager to see where the book would go. I liked the spooky element, which included unexplainable happenings that suggested a ghost story underneath the surface of it all.

Unfortunately, the author lost me on the second half.

#HelloThursday

I guess I accidentally entered a Kindle book giveaway. I don‘t like reading from a screen but since I won this, I suppose I will have to give it a try.

Two Early Reviewer books came today. Guess I better get cracking on reading.
