Welcome to Litsy!

I felt this story could have been told more succinctly, but I guess she wanted to keep it close till the end. It did have the flavor of To Kill a Mockingbird. Lu Brant, a fairly recently elected State‘s Attorney comes across a murder case that brings up the past and 2 different cases that affected her family when he father was in office. The final answers will throw Lu off.

“That‘s the problem with trauma. You can decide to change how you think about it, time can fade it, but it‘s never going to disappear.”

The 5th installment of the Children‘s Home series crafts the most creepy find (aka, a creepy doll) to put in motion the narrative. Sigurdardóttir keeps the reader mesmerized with twists, turns, and loose threads that lead to a tight knot, which ensnares who and why. The line between reality is crossed by the presence of the cursed doll. Another great book!

I didn't enjoy this ..couldn't get past the first few chapters

This was good in the sense that I wanted a quick read before starting another series. The book itself was meh, predictable and the end was 😒😑 I‘m happy to have read it so I can get it off my bookshelf 🤣

I was initially skeptical when I saw the cover, thinking it was just another steamy romance. However, once I started the audiobook, I was completely consumed by the story. I didn‘t expect it to be like this. The book blends romance with thriller elements, and the paranormal suspense is the perfect finishing touch. Well, they say it right—don‘t judge a book by its cover! 📚✨

Up next! Chipping away at that big book stack on my night stand!

The novel was dark and somewhat predictable as I got closer to the end, I figured it out. The characters were not particularly lovable. I did like being able to try to figure out what happened. The father‘s name fit him perfectly. 4.5/5⭐️
