Welcome to Litsy!

4.75⭐
I flew through this story and was genuinely moved by it. Although many readers share my positive reaction, I have noticed that there are quite a few who disliked it. I saw common complaints about disliking the MC, her repetitiveness, and believability issues. I'll admit the MC's thoughts were repetitive, and some story elements strained credibility, but neither bothered me much—I was too invested in the story for it to diminish my enjoyment.

# 38, # 47, and # 72 for this month‘s #roll100 !! What a great way to start off a spooky month!!

“The thing about grace is that you don‘t deserve it. You can‘t earn it. You can only accept it. Or not.”

Perfect cookie cutter family of 4...just don't scratch below the facade.Millicent and her husband are caught up in the monotony that everyday life can be, so to relieve their boredom they start engaging in their hobby of organising the murders of young women. Deliciously disturbing characters, with a mix of dark humour and sociopathic characters, it held me hostage from my real life, from the first to the very last page. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Haven‘t been around much because we are moving. This is our first morning in the new place. It was warm for most of the moving process, but yesterday the weather returned to our usual mild coastal weather. Hopefully it will stay that way since now we have to clean the old place. I hope to reign in the chaos before I have to go back to work in October. 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
My new favorite McFadden book, until the next one comes out anyway 😅🤣🤣 A thrilling and twisted story as always!!😱
