Welcome to Litsy!

Owen, a thirty something sixth form teacher is accused of sexual misconduct…charges he categorically denied. Across the road from Owen, we meet the Fours Family, they have a bad feeling about their neighbour, Owen. Introducing Saffyre, just finished therapy with Mr Fours. These characters are inextricably linked.
A dark, riveting thought provoking read about prejudiced thoughts and outcasts in society. Well written with a powerful conclusion.

I kept losing interest and would set it down for weeks at a time but I finally got through it. A few of the characters were a little dry and it dragged on in some areas. I gave it a so-so rating because I was not expecting that ending at all. It took me by surprise.

I stated she‘s an auto-read! 😆

Lisa can really write a popcorn mystery. Picked this up because it was on the #BannedBooks list at my library - my guess is because the plot revolves around misogyny & incel forums. The ending felt a bit rushed but overall, I sped through this.

Characters were realistic - not flawless and you got to know their sometimes even disturbing secrets.

Atmosphere was mysterious and scenes in the dark streets vivid.

I loved how this had multiple POVs and several twists: it wasn't easy to guess what has happened.

This was pleasurable read even though some things were a bit too coincidental.

Thanks for recommendation @Eggs

The plot was good, but it took me a while to get into it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just started this! Excited to read this one by Lisa Jewell, I have liked all her books that I have read so far!

Reading in the rain on my back deck is heavenly.

I usually have three books going at one time. One is an audiobook, one on my Kindle, and one book in hand.

Well this was a somber read. Definitely some triggers but really good writing, especially when it comes to reminding you there's bad people in this world. I became invested in the characters so some of the bad stuff hit hard. So, this was an excellent read, gets deep into these characters heads building slowly throughout the story. Family issues, teen girls, stalking, and a few twists and turns. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #thriller #suspense

Loving the garden at our new home! Perfect place to relax!

Saffyre Maddox spent 3 years under the care of child psychologist, Roan Fours. Dr. Fours decides their sessions should end. Saffyre feels abandoned. She learns about Roan & his family's life secrets & then Saffyre disappears. Owen Pick lives across the street from the Fours family. He has been suspended from his job as a teacher after sexual misconduct. Could Owen be responsible for Saffryre's disappearance? Lots of twists which kept me guessing!

Really enjoyed this book 😊 It was a solid psychological mystery with a great ending. Jewell certainly knows how to write a page turner!

Told from multiple POVs, it‘s a multi-weaved story about a family...Psychologist Dad, Stay at Home Mom and two teenage kids. A 33 virgin man that lived across the street from them and a high school student who was treated for self harming by the dad. There have been reports of sexual assaults in the area and now a teenage girl, who was treated by the Dad, has been reported missing! What happened to her and who is causing all these assaults? 4.5⭐️

How have I never read anything by Lisa Jewell before? This was a real winner of a spontaneous library request. Invisible Girl has everything you want from a domestic mystery. Jewell does a great job building a narrative grounded in the notion that we can never really know everything about the people around us. Her characters' flaws are front an centre, which kept me stacking theories about what happened and who did it throughout this novel.

Yes! Best book I‘ve read in a long time and I‘m so glad I kicked off the year with it 😊

. 2021 Book #1
My Rating: 4/5
I have yet to read a Lisa Jewell book that I don't like. I always enjoy how she shows the characters through a variety of perspectives, making them more 3 dimensional. This book was no exception. As usual, don't expect some big climax, but you can expect all the varied puzzle pieces to come together nicely the end

First book of 2021. I am committed to reading more this year. 2020 found me unable to concentrate on the written word, and I instead depended heavily on Audible for my daily doses of literature. I will not stop listening to books on my daily commute, but I will definitely focus on turning off the tech, and picking up the 📚.

Totally mesmerizing. I couldn‘t put it down. I loved how the individual stories entwined and created alternate viewpoints which had to be explored, and ultimately deconstructed to form the whole picture. I am always a fan of Lisa Jewell books and this one is right up there for me. Not a thriller exactly but full of suspense, twists and surprises which kept me hopping from one suspect to the next. #NetGalley

Finished this #tbrread and got my first #bookspinbingo ! Not my favorite of Lisa Jewell‘s, but still not a bad read. #wintergames #wintergames2020 #merryreaders

@TheAromaofBooks

Not chancing the roads here today to do our usual holiday gathering, so I‘m going to finish this book hopefully!

Merry Christmas Littens! ♥️

Going to try to get an hour or so in today. Merry Christmas Eve Littens! ❤️🎄🥂

I enjoyed this book! I love a dark thriller and this was definitely one of those. Content was not always easy to read but overall it was good. I think the three perspectives helped with the storytelling. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this one earlier. It will get me a #bookspinbingo !

So this happened today! With the tagged book I reached my goal for 2020. 🎉🎉🎉 I really didn‘t think I was going to make it - thank goodness for audiobooks. 🎧📚

Jumping in to this for the weekend. #TeamReadNosedReindeer #ImpulseRead

Absolutely loved this one by Lisa Jewell! I thought I had it figured out, but she left me with plenty of surprising twists and turns. This is well worth a read. It‘s a great mystery/thriller. While the thriller aspects are more toned down, it still has some traditional thriller characteristics. I loved the varying viewpoints and Saffyre‘s headstrong personality.

Oh, how I wish I could rate this higher.

This is an atypical Lisa Jewel novel. It‘s not really thrillerish, but that‘s OK. It‘s a good story told from multiple viewpoints, and it takes a while for them all to coalesce into basically the same story, which makes it feel suspenseful and satisfying. One of the characters, Owen, was kind of Eleanor Oliphant-lite. The book‘s ending is neatly tied up with a bow, or is it? A bit of a slow mover at times, but I really enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked this slow-building suspense novel. Saffyre, a teen, has disappeared, and there have been a rash of sexual assaults through the neighborhood. Is it the creepy incel across the street? Maybe Saffyre‘s former therapist that she‘s been stalking? Someone else? Where is she?

One of the most interesting parts was the look inside the incel community and into the mind of the creepy neighbor. 3.75⭐️

Good narration! #audiobook

I almost picked this up from #botm, but luckily I got a skip the line #audiobook copy from my library, so I‘m quickly listening to it. Nothing too deep or pulse-pounding so far, but great company during errands/chores today!

Get it!

Just in case anyone was wanting this and a good deal!

This novel will leave you breathless, and just when you think you‘ve followed the clues and know what will happen- a small tidbit you overlooked comes back and explodes in your face. This story is beautifully written, has dynamic characters, and a twist you will be blinded by.

I highly recommend this novel. It is fast-paced, detailed, and absolutely terrifying.

My favorite Lisa Jewell book so far! It had me guessing until the end... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#invisible #horrorseason @Klou

Invisible Girl was just a middle of the road thriller for me - nothing wrong with it, but nothing too exciting and not particularly memorable for me. 3⭐

My points total for the week is 345, while my overall total is sitting at 911. #Scarathlon2020 #TeamHarkness @StayCurious

#BookReport - Finished 3 books and 1 graphic novel. I loved the tagged and No Country for Old Gnomes.

In progress, Six of Crows about 200pgs in and Wicked Autumn on audio. I think I have 4hrs left

#WeeklyForecast - Read the #TeamSlaughter #BuddyRead and hopefully make a dent in the last debut I need for BOTM

Ahh Lisa Jewell does not disappoint! I could not put this book down!
⚠️Trigger Warning for Sexual Assault and derogatory talk towards women

I feel like every time I start a Lisa Jewell book, I can‘t do anything else until I‘m done.

This story follows 3 different people, a 17 yr old girl, a 33 virgin named Owen and mom Cate and how their lives intersect.

I raced through this - I was so keen to read it! There was a suitably creepy guessing game throughout and likeable and unlikeable characters. The shorter chapters and different perspectives as well as the time hopping kept me gripped. And the ending has given me pause for thought too. A great read!!

This guy is driving me nuts tonight. All he wants is attention and to snug on the couch. 🤦‍♀️ He won‘t stop staring at me 🤪
