Welcome to Litsy!

When I say, I squealed…I mean, I SQUUEEAALLLEEDDD opening this first thing this morning!! Was I late for work? Yes. Do you think I cared? NO! The sweater that will become my permanent uniform going forward, is unbelievably accurate. The books, so deadly, the pins and pens and treats OH MY!! I‘m soo grateful to you @DinoMom 🖤 This is such a phenomenal #AHRS package, I feel so SPOILED 😭. I can‘t wait to read The Ruins, I‘m very intrigued ☠️

I‘m down to only a few states before my #ReadTheUSA map is complete— & this #TrueCrime scratched #Delaware off my list! Rule‘s reputation proceeded her in this first experience with her writing. It‘s certainly a detailed exploration of Anne Marie Fahey‘s murder. Giving family background, & a thorough timeline both leading up to the murder & the official investigation that followed, this is a lengthy listen but still manages to unfold quickly.

It was the last couple chapters that brought this one up to a low pick for me.

I found this to be an interesting story, and I appreciate the many threads Summerscale was trying to weave together here: the murders themselves; the lascivious nature of the press and public interest in them; the racial tensions of the time; public attitudes towards women, sex work, and violence towards women.

I really enjoyed Ashley Elston's adult thriller Frist Lie Wins, so I decided to pick up one of her other books. However, this one didn't work for me. I found it really predictable and kind of boring.

However, I think young readers would really enjoy it.

I expected too much…🤷🏻‍♀️😕

Sometimes I enjoy YA - and sometimes the characters annoy me so much I can‘t even focus on the plot. Unfortunately, this is the latter.

“Kill For Me, Kill For You” is a mystery thriller with numerous plot twists that gave you surprises up to the very end. This novel was gripping and entertaining, however I‘m still not sure how I liked the ending.

This was a fun, quick read. I kind of had the murderer figured out, but I still enjoyed the ride. The end was WAY too abrupt though. It was like ‘build up, build up, BUILD UP CLIMAX over. Aso here‘s the murderer.‘ Kind of anti-climatic.
