I was surprised by the pedestrian writing in this book. After 20 pages, I looked to see if it‘s tagged YA. Nope. Maybe it's a debut novel? Again, no. I kept going, but my eyeballs continued rolling. Several plot points strained credibility. Was I supposed to believe that a 6-year-old child who had received almost no education could read and understand a book with words like "indigenous" and "captivity"? In the end, this book disappointed me.

BarbaraBB O wow that is disappointing. I loved her other books. 3w
Amiable @BarbaraBB In another section, two characters are exploring an old hospital. In one paragraph the same sentence is repeated several times: “Larry signaled to Amanda to stop.” They aren‘t trying to be quiet in their search —why not say, “Amanda, stop”? Or why not write, “He motioned/cautioned/waved at her to stop” if you‘re going to include the sentiment multiple times? It was like reading a high-school English essay. 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures Oh how interesting. I haven't liked her books that involve children but it has been awhile since I read one, but I absolutely loved her first book The Enchanted. She lives in my area and has had a really interesting life. Sorry to hear this one was a let down 3w
BarbaraBB @Amiable That sounds annoying indeed. Like @ChaoticMissAdventures I loved 3w

Good short tale of hoarding and value of things with romance. Graphic novels go fast! Well drawn.

Can‘t decide how I feel about this one. It‘s got to be frustrating to not be able to get justice for such a heinous crime. But the author‘s writing style annoyed me at times. And the audiobook reader had a lisp (have never experienced that before), so that was distracting to me.

A perfectly fine mystery where I knew the killer pretty much the whole time, yet was entertaining enough to keep going. There was some good writing in here, but the characters just weren‘t very interesting. 3⭐️

I‘m not really sure how to explain this one. Haunted house? Ghosts? Alternate reality? It‘s definitely creepy, and frustrating as you‘re rooting for Eve, the narrator. The end leaves things pretty opened ended with a WTF did I just read feeling. Overall, it was a good realty escape.
