pick3.75⭐
⬗ What a peculiar little tale that kept me entranced for all of its 162 minutes. Although, this is yet another horror book with an ambiguous ending🤔🤔🤔
⬗ The narration and translation by Mary Robinette Kowal were fantastic.
pickThis might be my last book for #HauntedShelf. The Night Guest was a really good thriller. I read it in one sitting as it's only 194 pages. The pacing is excellent. It slowly builds up the tension until it has you by the throat. 4.5 stars.

Ok weeeeeeird.. I‘m not even really sure what happened at the end but I was intrigued by the first half. Would have been a higher rating if there was a bit more clarity🍷
TW - lots of dead cats 🐈⬛
Super small chapters, some just one line. Finished in under 2 hours.
so-soThanks to #netgalley for access to this audiobook. I liked the initial concept more than the execution. The chapters - each audibly named - are very short and the naming makes for a disruptive experience

pickA low pick for me. Loved the Icelandic setting but still warming up (in the chilly locale!) to the characters. I definitely liked it enough to try the next in the series.

pickA slow burn that is worth persevering with because it is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is based on real events - a part of history that I knew nothing about- the kidnap of over 400 people from Iceland by barbery pirates. The FMC was a real woman, with a real story that has been fictionalised, but there are so many historical facts, that this is a powerful story ❣️
pan2/5 🌟
Despite the intriguing plot, the execution lacked depth, leaving the book aloof and disappointingly dull, with a flat and emotionally distant main character.
