I loved this even more than the first. Now that we know the characters and world, we get to see them suffer through adventures and learn more about their magic. Agott is growing on me, despite her moodiness. She's got a backstory I'm interested in learning. Loving all the action in each installment, and the cliffhanger endings!

I‘m now 3 for 3 in books that didn‘t live up to my high hopes. I‘m giving it a pick because I learned exactly what went on in Flint that probably caused the lead crisis, but the narrative was all over the place and the tone was off. She tries to strike a conversational, storytelling tone but I found it a little too informal in places, and she comes across a little bit manic, impulsively shooting off e-mails and such

This was such a delightful cozy mystery & really just matched my mood perfectly! (It's set in summer near Vancouver but the warm sunny weather with cool breezes are what we've got going on here currently & really set the tone)
Intriguing murder to solve, fun well-written characters to meet, & a lovely new small town to fall for! I appreciated that the MC & police chief are queer so I'm looking forward to a slow burn romance in the series to follow

For the past eight years, Brynn Donovan's father has been in prison convicted of killing her mother. Brynn & brother Max initially lived with their aunt but recently Brynn has been living her own life as a tattoo artist. On the way home from work one evening, Brynn's estranged father kidnaps her & says that what he said back then was true: there is something under the earth that is coming to get them & once he has secured Max too (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf they are heading for a shelter he has built to keep them both safe. Brynn looks for an opportunity to escape but events start to make her wonder if the threat may be real after all.

Liked: the storyline was good & completely different to what I initially expected. This is one of those books that it is best to go into knowing as little as possible apart from the setup. Dislikes: the main character Brynn - being a smartass a-hole is not the same as
1d
OutsmartYourShelf being a strong character. The pacing was also way too full-on all the time with barely time to catch your breath. Overall, whilst it was a good story, the main character affected my enjoyment of it. I rate this one 3.5🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Thrillerscape Press, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book! I read it for a book club but I might explore more of this author's work now. It follows the stories of three women from different time periods (1908, 1934, & 1998) who have encounters with evil witches. The world building was great, I loved the interconnection and overarching themes of the three stories. The audiobook was very well done, the narrator made each time period feel distinct.

Kenyazero I‘ve heard of this one, looks like it‘s a good read! 2d
KT1432 I‘m really excited about this. I loved Mexican Gothic (it‘s not for everyone though), and I‘m currently reading a vampire story by her that went out of print for a while, Certain Dark Things, and I‘m really enjoying it too. I think she may be a pretty consistent author for me. 🙂 2d

This was a hard book to read, but also one I‘ve been anticipating for a long time. It‘s astonishing how much this dystopian novel felt like now. I‘m not sure what to think about the ending.

Melismatic Apparently a third book was in Butler‘s plan…but she was never able to complete it. 🥺 2d
Bookwormjillk @Melismatic that makes sense 2d

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella Yes, but I was thinking would we really want her to see her books come true? 2d
AmyG I just read the first one and NO we don‘t want to see any of it come true. 2d

I‘ve read quite a few seasonal picture books earlier this month but I loved this one using Dracula to teach about the importance of blood donation! Also behold the power of chocolate! #HauntedShelf #GrimReaders #OneSnacktoRuleThemAll #Chocolatiers #LitsyBloodDrive #BookSpinBingo
