DNF- I felt really confused and couldn‘t keep the storyline straight. I did make the assumptions that were listed in the overview and wasn‘t engaged enough to continue. If you read this I suggest being able to give it time. Right now for me I didn‘t have that time and patience. #FableBR

4✨I don‘t know what it is about this book that made me like it so much. Being in a store overnight to try to catch a vandal was an interesting storyline. Then being way more than that was even more intriguing. Normally, I can handle gore and this book had a lot! There was a few scenes I had to pause to take a breather from the very vivid descriptive writing on the gore. Overall, I would say this was the most memorable story I read this month.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m so glad you liked it! This one is a reread for me and I‘m about halfway through. I loved it the first time and as a reread it‘s just as creepy. 🖤 2mo

3✨ It started out really slow as I gauged what was happening. It is a multidimensional setting that was difficult at first to wrap my mind around. It jumped ahead a few times before the characters were in the future which was an interesting touch. I also really liked the chapters that back tracked just a bit to change POVs along a common conversation or situation. I would have liked a slightly different ending, but it was a partial happy ending.

4✨ This was Poirot‘s last case. It‘s really hard not to give away anything for this one. There was a lot of big reveals and shocking revelation on who the murderer is. Just wow! 🤯 #FableBR #SeriesLove

Ruthiella This one is so sad. It‘s the one Christie I don‘t want to re-read. 4mo
Roary47 @Ruthiella I completely agree. 😭 4mo

3✨ Tough to read with hurt babies, lots of creepy settings, people in danger all throughout, and mythological stories I‘m not familiar with. The creepiness and danger to character was great! I just wish I knew what was going on half the time. 😅 #FableBR @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Littlewolf1

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm The hurt/in danger babies and kids definitely made it hard to read. 🥺 4mo

4✨ This was really good! Yarvi just wants to take his ministers test when his father and brother suddenly die. Feeling like half a man because of his weak hand he comes to the throne. I suspected the first betrayal, but there was a few reveals that I did not expect. I loved the adventure and the unlikely friends. There were sad moments, shocking moments, and it all tied nicely together. #FableBR

2✨ While I technically bailed on this one it was a collection of short stories. The problem is as mysteries it was not satisfying to try to solve the mystery because there was not a lot of information provided. Poirot being as amazing as he is can solve mysteries without much, but I would have at least like to have a chance. 😅 #FableBR

dabbe I also find that as a problem sometimes with detective stories. 😀 5mo

4✨ This book was really tense. The descriptions use to detail the ghost witch are very detailed and disturbing. There is a lot of scary situations, but I think I was just expecting more chills. There was a point in the book that I was just sad, and the scary parts of the book were just not as scary because of the depression. #FableBR @Littlewolf1

LibrarianRyan I still have this one to try, but I recently tried to read Echo by the same author. And yeah, just sad and depression, Ughhh. I DNFed. 5mo

4✨ There is quite a few characters, but only two POVs that we follow. We also start at present day and go back in time. This helps you ask the question: “What the heck happened?” It is really fast paced and even though it jumps from time and characters it‘s pretty easy to follow and helps to uncover the mysteries as it goes. Pretty dark and twisty on a few things, there is one mystery uncovered that is really messed up. #FableBR

4✨ This is one of those books that it‘s really hard not to gush about how great it was and spoil everything! We start out knowing that Sarah is taken and held prisoner by someone. It unfolds the story by time hopping from the past (in a few different timelines) and the present. Plus a couple POVS Mistakes were made that put a lot of things in motion. There were intimate and intense moments that were hard to read. Beware of triggers. #FableBR
