And finally, the last book for January!

I may have an unhealthy facination with the FLDS and Warren Jeffs but this one is a must read! You don't really learn much different in the way this branch was run but the way Rebecca Musser handled herself over time and the bravery she showed in speaking out is admirable. I hope this book was freeing and she continues to heal ❤️

Eve of Darkness: A Marked Novel | Sylvia Day, S. J. Day

Absolutely not.

If this wasn't for book club I would have bailed on page 2

The Cain and Abel story was fine on it's own but the "You're going to change but it's God's will and I have to protect you and by the way, the change makes you unbelievably horny and the only cure is sex with everything" trope is just....ugh.

Thanks, I'll pass

This has been on my shelf for a thousand years and I'm happy to have finally gotten to it. Beautifully written story of hardship, abuse and heartbreak. I'm not sure why it took me so long

All the YES for my boy #JDBarker ? I know this one sat forever but I'm so thrilled to have finally gotten to it.

The audiobook is definitely the way to go. It's capitvating and creepy. I loved the nod to Stephen King as well. I listened to it in a day.

With a mystery to solve that hits a little closer to home and the race to get the smoking hot Son of Satan before anyone else this second installment is more fun than the first.

This colour fits so muc better in person 🤷‍♀️

I focused on #DaryndaJones for January's #BacklistReadathon and I never picked this series up before.

Inherited house, hot handyman, random cat, family secrets....it has the makings of Cozy Hallmark and that's just not for me. This would be great for those who want a tamer, more middle-aged Charley Davidson....with less chaos and less fun

I have no interest in continuing the series

TheSpineView You can't love everything. Great job for finishing 2y
Andrew65 Well done 🥳🥳🥳 2y
TheAromaofBooks I get so annoyed when the colors match in real life but not when I put them together! 😂 2y

Remember that time I was going to update all January's reads and challenges? Yeah, I haven't finished that. Moving on! 😅

Reread. Witty. Funny. Sarcastic. Sexy. Grim Reaper. Ghosts. Murder. Read it!

Is there really anything more you need to know about this book? 🤣🤣

I generally enjoy zombie related books, but while this one was entertaining in parts, it was also very dry in others. I did finish, but it took a long time to get through as it was too easy to put down. Finished last week but just now posting #Jumpstart2023

So happy to have finally read this! I've always come back to this story over the years but never made it to the book. Definitely written in a way that can make you feel how unsettled this family was. Do I believe this really happened or was it all a hoax? Meh, I'm pretty set on my mind I think but it's still one hell of a story!

This was on my list for a billion years and did not disappoint. I may have a "slight" obsession with the FLDS and Warren Jeffs so a new insight is always welcome. I do feel this went more into the history of the religion and not as much into the crime commited so I wish I would have seen more of that though
