pickI love Mary Stewart and enjoyed this reread (re-listen?) while I worked.
pickStarted out great then kind of fizzled to what I‘m not sure… maybe I need to read the first book connected to this to completely understand it idk but it was okay I‘m used to loving her books so at sometime in the future reread it
bailedTried both print and audio but could not engage either way. Early dnf.
pickReally love the setting in this book… it‘s main setting is in the PNW and LA so great read
pickI read this in almost one sitting. Super formulaic, no big surprises, but like all of McFadden‘s books, I enjoyed. Nice palette cleanser!
pickFun and twisty tale!

so-soMartyn Waites‘s novel (the first in a series) marries thriller and folk horror but because there‘s so much going on it‘s less than the sum of its parts. It has good pacing and there are some creepy moments, but the plot is heavily contrived at times and neither Tom nor Lila quite convince as characters while the antagonist is similarly underdeveloped. It‘s not a bad book, I kept turning the pages, but it wasn‘t as satisfying a read as I‘d hoped.
pickI used to read lots of his books. Somehow I missed this one. It was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. I liked Jimmy Tock and his family. A different kind of thriller. 4/5⭐️
I may not like to put up the tree and start decorating but this is the perfect time to start the Christmas books to get me into the spirit.
