⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really strong way to wrap up this duology. I think it's so impressive to add a new POV in the second book in a way that didn't feel confusing or disappointing. There was one point I had to put it down because I was so furious with the twist, even though I knew something like it had to be coming! And immersive storytelling like that is just so fun to get lost in.
I think these characters & this story will stick with me for a while.

Jamaica Inn | Daphne Du Maurier

I had only ever read Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel and they are very different novels from Jamaica Inn. Both of the former novels are what we expect from du Maurier, gothic type romance/pseudo ghost stories. Jamaica Inn is more rough and ready and the heroine is more self reliant. It also feels like quite a wild ride. I had guessed at the villain, and was surprised by the, I guess, first ending, but not by the final ending. 5⭐️

This novel did not go in any of the several directions I expected it to, which was actually kind of delightful. It's a bizarre story of family systems, mourning, and discovering new ways of upholding responsibilities when the old ones no longer work. In a way, it's kind of a coming-of-age story for the painful growing up one does when our parents no longer carry us (literally and metaphorically), for whatever reason and at whatever age.

JacqMac This one is on my TBR. I might have to move it closer to the top. 6d
imthatniki I read her Desert Creatures last year, it also dealt with themes of grief and family 5d
ImperfectCJ @imthatniki I've owned a copy of Desert Creatures for a while, but I kept putting off reading it (without a library due date, I tend to let books linger). Now that I've enjoyed The Bog Wife, I am putting Desert Creatures higher on my list. 5d

I don't particularly like fantasy OR dark romance, but this wasn't bad.

Phantasma was the only Book of the Year choice from BOTM that I hadn't read, so here we are!

We'll see if Silo and I can make some reading progress before this one is due back at the library. I have not had near as much reading time so far this week as I would prefer. Or as Silo would prefer.

GOD I love a gothic. Lesbian gothic too? Delicious. I liked the two tones, the interviews with Dr Montague and Roosje telling her story between them. I‘m a big fan of books that tell me what‘s happened and help me figure out the how and why.

My next listen… just finished book 1 of the Shepherd King duology, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to use my current credit on Audible to get book 2.
