Welcome to Litsy!

The waters of the bayou are rising. People from town are disappearing. & Eugene finds himself entranced by the Bonnie & Clyde pair that‘s swept into town.

Wow can Powell set a scene! I could feel the heaviness of a Louisiana summer against my skin. & the insidious creeping horror as we don‘t know really know anything that‘s going on. Really reminds me of Alma Katsu‘s historical horror. & I‘m definitely going to look up more by Powell. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I won‘t say too much about this one right now as I don‘t want to spoil anything for my #LMPBC group members. In fact I don‘t think I‘ll say anything about it right now and give it a proper review later. I promise that I have read it! 😂😂😂

Despite the cover blurb, I don't think I would term this one as “nail-biting“. However, it did keep me turning the pages. This is a sort of character-study thriller, with a slow reveal of backstories and motivations, exploring both a current and past case. While I did have some mixed feelings about some aspects, overall I enjoyed it and actually reserved the second book at the library. 😁

#LMPBC Round 20 - Group G (Gothic Horror)• 5 Stars

Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery is a haunting journey set in 1666 colonial New England. The story follows Abitha, a recently widowed woman who struggles against her husband's puritan community as religious fervor escalates into mob mentality. Abitha befriends a forest spirit known as Slewfoot, who awakens hungry and is egged on by other spirits to kill and feed.

The book and goodies have arrived, @JackOBotts ! Thanks for sending the bookmark and sugar pick-me-ups 😊 Looking forward to reading this one!

I‘m currently making my way through The Haunting of Whitehall Manor, @KateReadsYA 👻

@Catsandbooks - May‘s book is on its way to you! Hope you enjoy it! #LMPBC #GroupM 🔥

⏰ This is a reminder for those participating in #LMPBC Round 20. There are only about two weeks left to read your book, mark it up, and get it into the mail by the end of the month. Can‘t wait to read the next book. 😎

I won‘t give too much away since this is our #LMPBC #GroupM book, but I enjoyed this story of Bree finding her magic and figuring out who is really is and exploring her ancestral roots. The King Arthur storyline surprised me so much- I didn‘t think it was necessary but I guess there‘s something there about the Western cannon, colonialism and racism. Will def pick up book 2 after that crazy ending! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Will mail to @Catsandbooks next week!
