Welcome to Litsy!

5⭐️ read

I loved this book so much that I was worried the ending would let it down, really pleased to say it totally didn‘t it was perfect.

This is dark but in a kind of fun way and I appreciated the Lovecraft references.

Really enjoyed the narrative voice and the different extracts of story from other viewpoints.

A book to lose yourself in and then to be glad it isn‘t real.

Sunday rain and reading 📖🤓🥰

The Turners are a family who run a haunted house. They all have their issues and each of them has seen the thing, if only in a glimpse, outside their windows at night. This book was great. It had a lot of well written family drama with a bunch of ‘what?, who? What the hell is going on?‘ going through it only to realize Hamill had laid the groundwork for an end that made me smile while breaking my heart. I also realized I need to read Lovecraft👇🏼

Not quite sure what to think, I‘ll be processing for a bit but it was well written and kept me turning pages. #scarathlon 276 points for #TeamSlaughter : 5 for the book, 1 participation and 9 hours read for 3 readathons. #24b4Monday, #cocoturns50, #readyourwayreadathon @Andrew65 @Clwojick @TheSpineView

Good thing I downloaded the book group book for reading while standing in line for voting. I‘ve been here about 45 minutes. Lines moving fast though, so that‘s good.

Book group next Monday. Decided I‘d better start the book. So far I‘m loving it. I‘m about 60 pages in and I downloaded it through Libby as well so I can read it when I‘m somewhere it‘s inconvenient to bring a hardback. About 3 hours of reading for me plus I watched another episode of Evil so ....66 points for #TeamSlaughter tonight. #scarathlon #cocoturns50 #readyourwayreadathon

This book was a mash-up of monsters, a coming of age tale, and a family saga. Shaun Hamill has a unique voice and writes compellingly.

The story covers multiple generations in a family who loves Lovecraft, has an interesting connection to another world of monsters, and also runs a haunted house. I loved it. 🎃

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Horror novels generally don't work that well for me - the "scary" part always just falls a bit flat. But I found the family dynamics, and the relationship of the MC and the monster, to be intriguing enough to keep me going.

Guys, look how cute my husband is making book posts on Instagram. 😍 I‘ve tried countless times to get him to join Litsy, telling him he‘d have plenty of people to discuss Stephen King and other horror novels with, but he‘s not biting. Until he finally caves one day, I guess I‘ll just enjoy his posts over there.

I enjoyed this book overall. It didn‘t always engage me, but I enjoyed thinking about the moral ambiguities brought up by the story. Fun read.

I CAN‘T STOP READING! This book is so good. It‘s hard to describe other than a family saga with monsters thrown in. Read it 👹

Something shockingly human happens involving monsters. This book was quite poignant, insightful, and messed up. I thought it was excellent and creative. I highly recommend it.

This is exactly how I felt about The Crucible when I read it in High School. They always demonize young women to make their "points." It made me so mad. This book as a lot of truths in it for a horror novel.

My book loot from vacation!!

Done! Now I have to pick my next read 😜

The boys are still sleeping, which means I get to start my day with a book and coffee! (Yes, I use lots of cream. I never grew out of the coffee milk stage!)

I am loving these Bones Coffee flavors! And I have it on good authority that this book is amazing! @pantheonbooks has another horror title due out that I‘m excited about, too. I‘ll share that one soon 😁
