Welcome to Litsy!

So good! I read this is one sitting because I didn‘t want to put it down!

#bookspinbingo - this is my #doublespin for this month!
#read2025

My favorite book was great, but not Nightingale great. 😊

5✨ Telling you why this is a high pick for me would give away the ending! So instead I enjoyed this one slowly. It had two POVs one being a guilt ridden boyfriend of a missing girl, the other a girl that lost her memory. While we follow his effort to find his missing girlfriend we also follow her path to remembering herself again. The ending! I thought I knew what was happening, but Lally surprised me big time! #HTBookClub

3.7⭐️ I honestly still don‘t know how I feel about that entire ending. Did I see some of that coming, yes, its a YA. It‘s easy to figure it out. That sounds bad, but I struggle YAs as it‘s written for younger audiences so sometimes the plot, the premise or the mystery doesn‘t quite add up to what you would get in other reads. Was it good, yeah it was. It‘s not my favorite mystery of all time, but overall it was worth the read. #HomeTownBookClub

Characters were well created, they made me feel. This was captivating, thrilling and enjoyable read.

This was pretty straightforward story, not as twisting as I expected. But there was still a twist that I didn't see coming and I loved the feeling.

"Get in losers. We're going sleuthing."

A pretty good book/gripping read

4/5

Quite well written with short, snappy chapters, but i guessed the twist very early on!

Decent YA thriller. A 17 year old girl goes missing and the main suspect is her boyfriend, Drew. Local police are dragging their heels when looking into new tips so Drew and his friends take it upon themselves to find Lola and clear his name.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Picked this #audiobook for two reasons- it was available to borrow immediately and the cover was eye-catching. Was a great decision too because this fast paced story pulled me in from the start and kept me invested til the last word was read.

Great darker YA book. Lots of suspense and mystery. The surprises were subtle and emotional. I wasn‘t expecting to tear up at the end of this thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So the plot is good but there didn‘t seem to be any depth to the characters

Wow! Full of twists, this mystery kept my interest. 17 year old Lola is missing. Drew her boyfriend is the main suspect. 5 weeks with no answers and the sheriff impounds Drew‘s vehicle. The longer Lola is missing the more danger to both Lola and Drew. Drew leads the way to finding answers with help from friends, finding clues and following up doing the job of law enforcement. Will they find her before it‘s too late? A fast read 4.75/5

I'm so behind in my goodreads challenge. I've read 31/200 so far this year, so I'm going to try and catch up. So this month I'm going to try and read 50 books.
So far I've read 1/50. The book was That's Not My Name and it was 5/5 stars.

Trying to get back into posting my reads. This is my most recent finish and oh. My. God it was so good! From debut author, Megan Lally this book was intense with its twists and turns. I thought I had the “twist ending” guessed from the synopsis but I was wrong and was gutted by the end. A great YA thriller for those looking for one. #thatsnotmyname #meganlally #thriller #yathriller

A solid YA mystery/thriller that seemed very cut and dry but still had a secret or two to surprise me with. Some aspects were easy to predict but the final twist was 😳🤯! Quick and definitely entertaining. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This audiobook did not let up! When a teen girl is found injured and with amnesia, her father comes to the police station to claim her, but is he who he says he is?

He is her father.
Her name is Mary.
Or so he says ...

Well plotted. Atmospheric and emotionally fraught. This is an easy recommend even though I had a hard time believing certain plot points initially.

2.25⭐
I feel like I read/listened to a different book than everyone else. This fell apart for me early on. Why did I finish it when I had so many issues…I wanted to know if the ending would clear up the inconsistencies that I had with the beginning…and unfortunately, it didn‘t. The narration by Sophie Amoss & Robb Moreira was not where my issues came from. They were good.
