Welcome to Litsy!

I have to say that I am glad I am done with this book! It was ssoo slooow. The chapters are extremely long. Characters come and go for no reason, I could understand. I kept losing interest and fell asleep reading it a couple of times. I got to 70% in the before it finally dawned on me what it was all about. Then it just abruptly ended. Of course, this is just my opinion and some others liked it and even loved it. Read it and find out ⬇️

Friends forever and then no more.

What happened?

We follow Billie and Cassie from their teenage years to adulthood.

BYE, BABY was not the thriller I was expecting but got good around 50% as things are revealed.

It was more about the lives of the characters and petty disagreements.

'The Boy Who Cried Bear' is the.second book in the Haven's Rock Series by Kelley Armstrong. Casey and Eric are one of my favorite detective and sheriff duo. They have left Rockton and started a new hidden town in the Yukon called Haven's Rock.

There are a lot of things different between Haven's Rock and ⬇️

THRILLER - MYSTERY

What an ending to this slow burn. It is worth the wait.

Another good one by Ms. Paris as she gives us characters with secrets kept and characters you won‘t want to trust, but can‘t figure out why.

Don‘t miss it.

Throughout this series, I couldn‘t help but think about Agatha Christie‘s Hercule Poirot character. Detective Kaga is Poirot‘s reincarnation in Japan. It becomes even more evident in the titles. ⬇️

Took.me a week to read this book. I still don't know why she gave Yeti, the cat, chapters. He didn't add to the book at all.
