pickSarah Lotz‘s standalone thriller makes the most of its original hook in that you know who the killer is from very early on so although the main story turns both on other characters discovering the truth, it‘s given emotional depth by the slow reveal of family secrets and has strong themes of identity and trust. Although the ending didn‘t fully work for me, I would read more about these characters and am interested in reading Lotz‘s other work.

pickI could not stop listening, I was just so compelled. I first heard about this case from the show How I Escaped My Cult. The author was one of the people interviewed for the show. This is much more of a deep dive into not just the case, but the church, and the Leonard family.

Wow, when you do something so bad, your old friends say THIS about you.

Apparently my reading has entered my cult obsession. 🤷🏻♀️

so-soCharacters weren't really fleshed out and can also be seen pretty stereotypical.
This was a real slasher, atmosphere was awesome and I adored the setting too. This had so much action that at some point I started to hope some slower moment where characters could make plans.
I appreciate how hard it was to guess how everything was going to end but the reason is obvious after reading the author's note.
This was a fun read!
so-so(2016) After 200 years of peace, the space navy has become more of a social club than a fighting force. So when ex-Sergeant Roger Rogers finds himself forced to reenlist he expects hours of unprofitable time-wasting. His old ship is more chaotic than ever, but when an actual crisis looms, he may have to take his job seriously. The comedy is a little broad for my taste--too many body-function jokes--but the satire of bureaucracy is frequently sharp
pickIncredible. Combining the world of internet sleuthing and lost to found person-from USA to Ireland, the ‘net forms a bond. Four narrators, with secrets and sensitivities. I recommend listening to the Audiobook. Combine Lotzs‘ excellent narrative with narrators truly immerses as the plot plays out.
Dexter laying on another book. This guy is too funny.📖🐶
