Holy shirtballs 😱 😱 😱

I read this in one sitting. The growing tension and pacing are so well crafted. Frustration at the treatment of women by the medical establishment turns into creeping unease as you learn more and more (but never everything) about what is happening. So so good.

sarahbarnes This sounds really good. Stacking! 1d

I see this book reviewed here and noticed that either I didn't review it here or my review never "aired" back in September.

Anyway, I absolutely loved it. The translation and narration by Mary Robinette-Kowal are excellent.

It's creepy and atmospheric and I still wonder what the end was about.

Megabooks I agree. This was v good! 7d

My email to @BarbaraBB about this book when I finished it last night:

1. The English translation is really well done.
2. The use of negative space was incredible.
3. The suspense was superb.

4. I didn‘t get the ending at all.

Ruthiella I‘m intrigued! 😃 7d
TheKidUpstairs So intriguing! Consider it stacked! 7d
julesG Mary Robinette-Kowal did an excellent translation. She also read the audiobook. Chef's kiss! 7d
BarbaraBB I placed an order for the book right after reading that email 🔥💛 7d

3.75⭐
⬗ What a peculiar little tale that kept me entranced for all of its 162 minutes. Although, this is yet another horror book with an ambiguous ending🤔🤔🤔
⬗ The narration and translation by Mary Robinette Kowal were fantastic.

julesG Translation and narration were chef's kiss. 3w

This might be my last book for #HauntedShelf. The Night Guest was a really good thriller. I read it in one sitting as it's only 194 pages. The pacing is excellent. It slowly builds up the tension until it has you by the throat. 4.5 stars.

Book 87📚 2.8⭐️

Ok weeeeeeird.. I‘m not even really sure what happened at the end but I was intrigued by the first half. Would have been a higher rating if there was a bit more clarity🍷

TW - lots of dead cats 🐈‍⬛

Super small chapters, some just one line. Finished in under 2 hours.

Thanks to #netgalley for access to this audiobook. I liked the initial concept more than the execution. The chapters - each audibly named - are very short and the naming makes for a disruptive experience
