Why is there not more hype about this?! I never (never) rate books 5/5 and there isn't a rating high enough for the Rollercoaster this kept me on. Amazing! Thank God the next one comes out next month. #46-2023

JamieArc I saw a bunch of hype about this in other spaces like Instagram, but not on Litsy. It was a 5 star read for me too! 7mo

Eh, decent writing but this was not satisfying to read; maybe because it‘s the second in a trilogy and I didn‘t read the first. I traded books with my sister in laws mother in law because I was out of books at the lake. Very in depth knowledge about the subject matter but the end is left hanging and you don‘t get answers! Book #46 in 2023

Wow, this turned out to be a good book. I wasn't sure at first, but as you get into into it, you realize it's about a lost family and a mother that hordes.

Eh, this didn‘t quite do it for me. A man is killed and it comes to light that he had 3 wives who didn‘t know about each other. It had some funny parts and the plot had promise, but it fell flat for me. I liked CB‘s The Hope Chest Better. Book #46 in 2022

Fourth in the original Babysitters Club books series. I remember this being an important book to me as a middle schooler. The whole series was great but there was something about Dawn and Mary Anne that I just related to. #46-2022

Read the first of these 2 books for a Nature read for #Hikeathon and HAD to read the sequel to find out what happened to ROZ, the Wild Robot! The story fed the geeky part of my brain and also warmed the mother in me. That‘s all I will say, but you should listen/read these. The narrator was fantastic, too. #46 & #47 #BookSpin #24 & #25 #BFC22 #SERIES2022 #Pantone2022Colour Loden Frost & Chiseled Stone #Hikeathon #MiddleGradeReads

The Effects of Her Nerium | Francheska D. Robles Diaz

pick

Book #46 An indie read: ✅ The Effects of Her Nerium by Francheska D. Robles-Diaz ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
New-to-me author.
She has a way of drawing you into the story & even though the content is full of gore & insanely twisted, you find yourself agreeing and rooting for the MC. How sick is that? I love it! Whoever manages to do this, knows how to engage the reader. Kudos! More ⬇

WJCintron WARNING/TRIGGERS 🔥
First of all, you should know this is not for everyone. It's meant for readers 18+. It's about a serial killer, so there's violence, strong language, gore, blood, descriptive torture scenes, mental & physical pain, rape, death and grief. 2y

WJCintron The book starts with some action and the reader is left wondering what really happened. A great way to hook the reader. I really appreciate that the author took us back in time and fed us some needed backstory, in order to develop the characters. I enjoyed learning about them and loved that she took me away to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico with her descriptions and vivid atmosphere. I could see every colorful detail she described. More ⬇ 2y

WJCintron As the story moves forward, you‘re always wondering what‘s going on, which is great. But it's on chapter 9 where it starts getting intense. When you start seeing who Lilith is becoming. The author calls it becoming a monster in her description of the book. I, personally, would say pain is the culprit, the one capable of pushing you to the limit. It can turn anybody into a “monster“.

WJCintron That's exactly what happens to Lilith. In my eyes, she wasn't a monster. She had a thirst for revenge and twisted justice that within her circumstances and frustration somehow became plausible. The way the author bleeds her characters and puts the reader in their shoes makes us wonder and root for L Simmons, even when we know what she's doing is wrong and unacceptable. More ⬇ 2y

WJCintron Love and grief are two of the strongest emotions that can easily become overwhelming. Lilith is painfully entangled in such emotions from a young age, and as her circumstances change, her frustration grows, putting her mental health at stake. The metaphor/comparison the author provides to let the reader know Simmons is falling into some kind of madness, is great, (won't spoil it). More ⬇ 2y

WJCintron With time, Lilith gives in and stops fighting her demons and instead of dueling she takes those demons by the horns and delivers. And let me tell you, you'll be rooting for her. As I read I found myself screaming “YES!“ and even smirking at times. Not once I felt the need to put it down. I love when a book has that effect in me. A brutal and unexpected treat for sure! Lilith is one of those characters that will stay with me for a long time. More ⬇ 2y

WJCintron This is not just a gory book. It's an eye opener, and it has a purpose. At the end of the book, I was glad to find a list of resources for PTSD, mental health and such. I was also surprised by the information provided by state about missing people, evidence the author did her job, and she did it well.
If you enjoy gore, badass characters, and strong female heroines, this book is for you. It's definitely a wild ride you won't be able to put down. 2y

WJCintron A big thank you to the author for sharing this book with the world and providing a platform where readers of every path of life can find unexpected catharsis and find healing if they make use of the great resources she provided.
Will definitely recommend 💯! 2y
