This was a crappy story of a little kid being followed by a demon.

Arthur Kipps is sent to a remote village to settle a client‘s affairs after she has died. There is a “woman in black“ who haunts the deceased clients house and area. This is beautifully written, one of the best ghost stories I have ever read. Overall- exceptionally good read. ⬇️

Make a great day everyone 😊

bthegood This is where my January #BookSpinBingo landed (thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks ) – 1 bingo due to a DNF – just not in the mood for that one right now. Overall – a good reading month for me 🙂 2d

Good morning! I'm about halfway through Incidents around the House and I absolutely love it. I had to stop reading it Saturday night because I started freaking myself out over every little sound I was hearing in my house. So going forward, I'm only reading it during the day. 😆☀️

Horror, Crime Mystery and Romantasy. That's quite a mix for this weekend. 😀

Litsy, there are times I eat with family and for the 1 1/2 hrs I am with them it‘s pure torture, so I can only imagine what 9 days in a Tuscan villa with 6 dysfunctional family members feels like for Anna. A nagging mother who wants stuff to happen so she can be a mother. An emotionally absent brick wall of a dad. A clingy twin who can‘t take responsibility for his choices. A sister so insecure, who just comes off so hateful and jealous. 👇🏼

Reggie And oh yeah, the Tuscan villa is haunted. I was laughing a lot at the sheer audacity of this horrible family. Have ya‘ll ever seen that episode of Family Guy where Meg admits that she knows she has to be the most hated family member or else they all fall apart. This was a lot like that. Don‘t read if you need to like characters. But it was a pick. 2w
Suet624 Well I surely won‘t be stacking this one but I love the review of it. 2w

Bookzombie Great review! 🙂 I would stack if I hadn‘t already. 2w
Reggie @Suet624 @Leftcoastzen Thanks, ladies. It was a total Jerry Springer show. 2w
Reggie @Bookzombie I feel like I was on YouTube shorts where they go, members of Reddit what was the time you decided to cut ties with your family. And Anna goes but in that robotic voice they use, one time me and my family were staying at a haunted Italian villa. lol it was a little crazypants. I hope you like it. 2w
AmyG I really liked this one. Horor and my love of dysfunctional families 🙌🏻 1w
Centique Brilliant review - i would visit the haunted Italian villa with you but lets make it a Littens Reading Adventure, no dysfunctional family members. (How bad is this haunted villa anyway? 🤪) 1w
Reggie @AmyG when she told the brother she had an abortion and then he proceeds to tell the worst person possible. And then later on she tells the parents on Anna. They were effing horrible!!!! 1w
Reggie @Centique lately I find that the horror in horror books has been taking a backseat to their character‘s real life problems. The villa was creepy but I kept thinking what is this horrible family gonna do next? Christina Henry wrote this godawful book with really bad horror, but you know what I think about 5 months later? If she‘s gonna keep her and her son off the streets. Their affordable apartment was sold out from under them. She has a 👇🏼 1w
Reggie moment where she says I‘m just so tired of just surviving. That‘s all I‘ve ever done since I‘ve had my son. None of that had to do with the horror in the book- which btw was horrible. Anyways, if you‘re thinking about tackling a horror book-go for Grady Hendrix‘s Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. It‘s light on the witchcraft and heavy on teenage pregnant girls of the 1960s. So good. 1w
Centique @Reggie that sounds much more achievable for me! Ive been thinking about how a lot of the horror i come across (but dont watch! 🤪) is entwined w the characters personal issues. Like a parallel between whats evil and happens in reality and whats evil and unrealistic in the horror fiction. And i guess its often saying a lot about psychology and harm and repeating trauma… 1w
Centique It was making me think the horror genre probably has a lot to say about the problems of real lives. 🤔 I probably thought about that because of some of your reviews! 1w
AmyG Hahahaha…it was great. They were all so awful. Dysfunctional families are my cozies. 🤣 (edited) 1w

I liked The Ten Thousand Doors of January so much more than I liked this book. I did the audio version. I had a very hard time following it. I did like the setting, a creepy old house. I didn‘t care for any of the characters. I had a hard time understanding the relationship between Opal and Arthur. This book was just so-so.

This novel is set in upstate New York. The characters are quite interesting & mostly well liked. Holly is a struggling playwright. Holly, her girlfriend Nisa, and two other friends travel to the Mansion outside a small village. The house appears to be haunted with a reputation of someone from each group of renters going missing. The author adds an edge of fairies into the mix adding a magical element to the novel. 4/5
