A woman wakes up exhausted every morning, limbs aching, with unexplained bruising. She eventually finds out that she‘s sleepwalking. Strange things are happening - cats start to run away from her - and she tries to ascertain what is happening. It‘s a short read, a bit creepy, and one that keeps you hooked. The ending? Yeah, who knows what happened but I have several theories and I‘m okay with that. #offtheshelf #bookspin

Cathythoughts Sounds good. I have a sample on my kindle .. I‘ll try it 👍🏻😁 6d
CBee This was definitely creepy. Normally I can‘t do sad animal things but, for some reason I could with this book? And after a minute of being mad about the ending, I decided I was okay with it 😂 6d
Suet624 @CBee I know what you mean about the sad animal thing. She just breezes over it so quickly that it kind of didn‘t sink in as hard as it could‘ve. 6d
CBee @Suet624 that‘s exactly it! Didn‘t have time to really ponder it before it was over 🤷‍♀️ 6d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5d

An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.

Suet624 This one is in my pile of books just waiting for me to grab it. 2mo
sarahbarnes @Suet624 If it wasn‘t I‘d offer to send you mine. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 2mo

I debated between giving this book a pick or a so-so. It is an extremely quick read and I did enjoy the end and how it brought everything together. I also enjoyed the setting of a wintry, 19th century Iceland. I was a bit confused by all the characters but the end wrapped it up nicely and the pieces all fall into place. I'm glad I read this book but just feel a little underwhelmed by it. Probably won't stick with me, but it was worth the read.

I forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!

AudiobookingWithLeah Yeah, I think I relistened to the end twice. It was definitely disappointing. 3mo

Hmm. So I liked this and I was really invested but after that very unresolved ending, I have SO MANY questions 😂😅🫣 @BarbaraBB I bought this one based on your review so, I‘ve made a new hashtag: #blameitonbarbara 😀😂

julesG Nice # 3mo
CBee @julesG thanks! 😂 3mo
BarbaraBB Lol, that‘s a first, being a # 🤣🤣. But I know what you mean, that‘s ending was so frustrating! 3mo

julesG @BarbaraBB Frustrating yes, but also good. Sometimes an open ending is better than everything wrapped up nicely with a bow. 😉 3mo
BarbaraBB @julesG Yes! That‘s why I loved it too. It left me with all the feelings! 3mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I can think of other times that hashtag would‘ve come in handy! Many books I‘ve read thanks to you 😊 3mo
CBee @julesG the more I think about it, the more I‘m okay with it. At first I was all how dare she end it like that 😂😂 3mo
BarbaraBB What goes around comes around 💕 3mo
CBee @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
