As most of the thrillers I have read but I continue loving this genre😂it has some unrealistic parts. One event was pretty predictable but that last twist was a surprise to me. I enjoyed this story. A fast pace reading. First time I read a book by this author but I have a couple of books by him but started with this new release🤷🏽‍♀️☺️ 3.8⭐️

Read in February 2024
Unpopular opinion. I didn‘t enjoy this book as much as I wanted or as much as many people did🤷🏽‍♀️I found characters so immature, the story too cheesy, repetitive and I didn‘t care about the characters or their story. I found it bored😳2.5/3⭐️But I like the cover☺️

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 4w
Gissy @TheAromaofBooks Yes and maybe I can sell it🤷🏽‍♀️ 4w

TheAromaofBooks That's what I've been doing with a lot of my books. I can't remember, are you in the US? Both Pango and PaperbackSwap have been great resources for me to unload unwanted books and get some new ones!!! 4w
Gissy @TheAromaofBooks I‘m going to try PangoBooks but I didn‘t know about Paperbackswap. I have a full box already. I will try to sell them this weekend. Apparently all you have to do is take a picture and link my PayPal? Are you familiar with with PangoBooks? 4w
DieAReader 👋🏻👋🏻Next! 4w
TheAromaofBooks Yes, I have been using Pango for a few months now and really like it. After you set up your account, to sell a book you just scan the book's barcode and the app will upload the publishing info (you can still edit it if you need to). You take some pictures, select the condition and price of the book, and you are good to go!! What I love is when someone purchases it, Pango creates a shipping label that you can print (usually the buyer pays shipping) 3w
TheAromaofBooks Paperback Swap isn't as good as it used to be just because it now costs more to mail a book even media mail!! But basically you post books you have to get rid of. If someone picks your book, you mail it to them and then you receive a credit. You use that credit to pick a book from someone else. So basically you get books for what it costs you to mail a book to someone else (now $4-5). You can also create a wishlist and get notified if someone ⬇ 3w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) posts a book you want. It's a great way to get books that are a few years old and not as “hot“ as they were when they were first published 😂 3w
Gissy @TheAromaofBooks Thank you! I will try it and definitely will use PangoBooks I buy books from them all the time. It‘s a matter of patience because sometimes some new releases are expensive and later you can find them in a great deal. Thank you for the information 🤗 3w
TheAromaofBooks Yes, I love buying books from Pango because you can SEE what book you are purchasing. Sometimes I am looking for specific editions or covers, and it's so helpful to see photos instead of just a “stock picture“. 3w
Gissy @TheAromaofBooks Same here! My phone and iPad are full of book pictures. I think I will live for eternity to read books🤣 3w

I picked this up solely based on a random TikTok review, and I am far from disappointed. It's not a style I'd usually read, and the story is less than action-packed, but it's sweet and thoughtful and was just a great, reflective book. Highly recommend. #15-2024

Happy to have finished both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for February! So far this year I've read five of my original books and DNF'd 3. Take that, TBR!

(Don't ask me how many I've added...)

I gave myself a choice for #15 because I really didn't want to take The Encyclopedia of Fairies off my list, but my library hold may not come in in time.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2mo

A beautiful story about grief and community. I can‘t imagine anything that would ever make me mad enough to push my mom out of my life for any amount of time, especially two decades. Ella was infuriating, however I‘m glad she picked up on her mother‘s absentmindedness and realized her mistakes. What she does for her mother in the end had me crying warm, hopeful tears. Book #15 in 2024

Free translation: Dark is the Night
This story is two time line: in the present 2020, Sandra, a famous singer in a band, wants to take sometime for herself after her divorce with Olivia. Her manger found her a place in the peninsule coast. She goes by incognito, to this hotel called Hotel Paris. There, Sandra feels strange sensations, eerie atmosphere and hears a song. She decides to follow the song, to see where it comes from⬇️

Gissy She will found that there is a mystery attached to the hotel, the song and the village. There is also some tension in the village due to the presence of these wolves. During this process to explore the hotel, where the song comes from and her visits to the village, she will meet two journalist and a friend came to visit her. Then this friend disappeared. Everything is connected. During those actions we go back and forth to the 1920s. ⬇️ 3mo

Gissy (Cont.) In those parts during the 1920‘s we will know Candela and her secret. What happened to her? Her relation with the hotel, the village, the song and why all their is connected with Sandra. This is a paranormal/mystery with a touch of thriller. It is a long novel (600 pages) so many things happen. Let‘s say that is not a great novel because there were part of this paranormal element that I found absurd, but kept my attention.⬇️ 3mo

Gissy I liked more those past parts than the present; and there were characters in the present time that I enjoyed more than the main character🤷🏽‍♀️If you see the cover, you will see a clue.

First time I read a novel by this author. 3.5/3.8⭐️
