Welcome to Litsy!

This was rather entertaining. I love anything in abandoned resorts/theme parks so the setting was a plus. Yes, there was some of the usual YA stuff: two characters not communicating & assuming what the other was thinking, an historic misunderstanding to start off the animosity, & the almost ubiquitous love triangle, but it all worked here.

TBH highly disappointed in lack of FMC growth & substantial plot in Bond That Burns until the last 25%. At least that is one of my #readyourkindle down for the month. Highly recommend the audiobook for tagged. The narrator was phenomenal! The #netgalley #arc was my favorite. Unique in a genre thats heavily overpopulated now with so much action/political drama.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #SimonAcumen for the Giveway win! I had no idea I‘d get TWO Hardcopies…I‘m not sure if they are trying to tell me something! LOL!

This book was FANTASTIC! One of my favorites of the year!

I quite enjoyed this sapphic Pride and Prejudice continuation. With every book that begins in JA‘s world I always look for authors to stay true to the characters I know and love as well staying true to time and place. And McLeod does that while giving me a story of exploring Charlotte‘s awakening to who she is and finding the courage to be herself.

Her post showed up on my IG feed so I commented and she responded. Fun!

Grateful to #netgalley for access to this horror novel. On paper it‘s exactly my thing: Malerman, a demon, an unreliable narrator. In reality, the child narrator was repetitive and I wanted more demon than I got.

The author grew up considering his great-grandfather a fascinating figure. Siegfried Merzbacher was a German-Jewish chemist who invented radioactive toothpaste & took his family & fled Germany out of the reach of the Nazis in the late 1930s.

However, when Dunthorne read Merzbacher's autobiography (a hefty tome that no-one else in the family had tackled before then) a very different story emerged, (continued)

I started the tagged yesterday as it‘s next up on my #NetGalley list. I “enjoyed” her other books and am hopeful about this one. I doubt I will get to #12 as I‘m not feeling it but the top 2 stand a chance.

Abigail is hosting a birthday party for her brother, Benjamin & has invited his circle of close friends. She arrives at the Airbnb to set up the food & drink & also hide the clues for the period murder mystery game they'll be playing later. The party passes without a hitch but the next morning, Benjamin fails to appear for breakfast. His bedroom door is locked & he isn't answering their knocks so they break the door open - Benjamin is dead.
