Welcome to Litsy!

This book just about killed me. I didn‘t feel until the end just how deeply its roots have embedded themselves in my mind and my heart. Two lifelong friends spending a lifetime each, searching for a voice from the darkness. More than that, it‘s a search for a serial killer. But each of those descriptions does not do this epic novel justice. Yes it‘s long, but it is so worth the investment. Did I cry at the end? You know I did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Themes: Mystery/Thriller, Good bookclub pick, Twisty plot

This was a book I wouldn‘t have picked up had it not been my bookclub‘s next read. I even told my husband a few pages into it, “this is just really weird” 😂. I did end up liking it though, I thought the characters were fully formed and felt ‘real‘ and Whittaker‘s writing flows really nicely. So many good quotes too! I can‘t wait for our next meeting to discuss this!

strongly recommended to me by my #tattooartist

#thriller

Patch is 13, a poor, bullied boy who unwittingly becomes the center of tragic incident in his small town. The book follows Patch and his best friend Saint through the following 25 years as the impact of that event ripples through their lives. It really is best to come to the story blind. Whitaker crafts a mesmerizing, slowly unraveling tale, full of complex characters so compelling that I just had to keep reading. Absolutely fantastic book.

Started reading it

I have not started yet cause I‘m reading another book, but I‘ll let you know

This book did not disappoint. A decades long epic and heartbreaking crime thriller. And I ‘bleeping‘ love Charlotte she is exactly what I wanted her to be.

I‘m going to do #BookBracket2025 for some fun this year. January‘s pick is All the Colors of the Dark. It was interesting and thoughtful.

#3 of 2025!
