pick4 Stars. I enjoyed this book, the characters were infuriating and lovely at times yet not dumbed down. I found myself actually rooting and cheering for them. I liked the mystery surrounding the story itself. It felt like a nicer pace than what I last read (The Ruins by Scott Smith). It was a pleasant take on a gothic era novel. I could also appreciate that it wasn‘t fully a dark romance and gave some warm chemistry between two main characters.
Did anyone else watch the #frankenstein movie that came out yesterday? I‘m SO intrigued by other peoples‘ thoughts. I have one major gripe with it- Victor‘s parental background. Much of the tragedy in the book centers around how Victor came from an extremely loving family but didn‘t carry those values to his treatment of his own “child”. The movie shows such a different background for Victor that seems to give a more generational trauma message.
pickThis was hard to read in the beginning. But once the horror started it had my heart racing. It was so full of twists and heart it had me wishing for more. It had me frightened the whole time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

so-soI wasn‘t sure how I was going to rate and review this book. It changed from being what I thought it was into something completely different that I discovered I was not really enjoying. I finished it for a book club discussion and maybe my opinion will change after hearing what everyone else thought. This is one really messed up, weird, scary/not scary book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickOhh, that certainly went places. I think I'd hoped for a happier ending, but... no, this makes sense.
pickThere‘s a lot going on with this horror and historical fiction novel. A vampire that‘s taking revenge on Three Person‘s role in the massacre of the Blackfeet is written with horror, gore, eerie prose and a stalking pace. I can‘t decide if I like it- engaged, but disgusted at both the gore and the events that transpired…and not the ones initiated by the vampire.
Testing out some earbuds that go over my ear for use on an upcoming vacation and the gym. I've got about 45 listening minutes left on the tagged book, but I had to admire the leaves on this little tree in the park. It's leaves are still hanging on & the sunlight and blue skies really make the red pop!
