Welcome to Litsy!

Whoa. I‘m unhappy to say all my suspicions turned to be true in this thriller. The title is perfect and a play on words and the book is creepy scary. Yara returns home to complete plans for her parents‘ anniversary party, but her asthma, allergies and anxiety always flare up when she goes home. Even worse this time she is assaulted by a woman who is murdered that night. Her search for truth just keeps turning up more twists and lies.

A weak pick. I liked the suspense and twists, although I guessed the major twists. I didn't like the carelessness with (mostly inconsequential) details like timelines and the main character wearing contacts or "coke bottle" glasses but then being able to see well enough to read on paper and her phone when she couldn't find her glasses.

3.5. Although I was able to pretty much figure out what was going on quite early in this book, I still enjoyed seeing it all come to fruition.

About to start this one. I was in a slog with my last book (finished it today) so I'm hoping a fresh book will freshen up my reading life this week! Great quote to open a thriller with... here we go 🤞🏽🤞🏽

This started well but devolved into repetition and absurdity pretty quickly. Yara's boyfriend, a very minor character, is the only likeable person in the whole book and there were a number of things that didn't make sense and were never explained. The book kept me interested enough to read the whole thing and find out the answers but I didn't enjoy it much.

Adding the tagged to my TBR - and not just because it has a pretty cover! Looks fab! 🤣
