Welcome to Litsy!

Reportes who were main characters in this story felt interesting. At the beginning they talked about their childhoods and that gave them some depth.

The setting was an abandoded church and that could have been amazing (scary!) setting. Descriptions were non-existent so there is that :( Everythings was over before you were immersed into the story.

I enjoed as long as this lasted but I think this could have offered so much more.

Clearly I need to stop reading and pay attention to the orange guy. Message received, buddy! #huey #catsoflitsy

Another great thriller from McFadden that I read in a day! I really do love her books. If you‘ve liked her previous books you will like this one too!! This would make a great movie or mini series. I‘m eager to read the remaining McFadden‘s on my shelf!

I‘m still hooked on Freida McFadden‘s books. I chose to give the Housemaid series a pause and read The Perfect Son. It was another great one! Freida delivers that unexpected twist I‘ve come to rely on. The twist in this book literally stopped me in my tracks.

Freida McFadden didn‘t disappoint with this novel. There were so many twists I wasn‘t sure how it would end. Sam and Abby have been married for years and have been unsuccessful in having a baby. Monica, Abby‘s assistant volunteers to be a surrogate for them. Lots of things go wrong, of course. The characters were wrapped up some I liked and others were not good humans. 4/5

I saw the end coming with this 🤣 I think I've read that much Freida McFadden books that I actually have her mindset going in now.
Still an enjoyable read which is perfectly paced. I always find FM's epilogues are wild. Just when you think everything is sorted.....BAM... epilogue... all goes west 🤣

This turned out to be a surprised ending, didn't have a clue

Dark Corners is a fast-paced thriller with a few twists and turns. While there are some twists and turns in the novel, there are also a lot of parts that were rather predictable but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the narrative. The audiobook was simply ok and did not do the novel justice. At times I felt like the narration was too monotone and flat, although I did like that there were different narrators.

I almost always find McFadden's books to be well developed with a complete out of left field twist at the end. This time around I came away somewhat disappointed. The story stressed me out something fierce, which isn't neceoa bad thing, but I want it to all come together in the end. And with this #audiobook, I didn't even like the ending. Some of the twist I was down for; however, the actual ending itself seemed contrived and irritating. 3.5 ⭐

This was a cute, fun read. Enjoyed the blend of mystery and romance. The romance didn‘t overpower the mystery and the diverse cast of characters were all fully three dimensional and interesting. Although it was a mystery and there were some serious elements in it, it was also cheerful and uplifting. Really liked it.
