Welcome to Litsy!

Winner of two awards and a very unique concept especially as AI is becoming more and more part of our lives. It‘s the first of a series and sets up nicely for the next story with well drawn characters. A nice amount of humour not too cliche. I was screaming at the “missed” clues and obvious motive here that seemed deliberate so as to create the dramatic climax. Maybe there will be more finesse in the next book but I‘m not rushing to read it.

I thought I had this book worked out from early in the story. Then McFadden had me questioning everything I thought I knew. That‘s when the twists started coming. This book was a wild ride! I couldn‘t stop once I‘d started.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, this thriller was quite the mystery! I really enjoyed trying to figure out whether or not Clare was actually going crazy seeing ghosts or if they were actually there. It was pretty convincing the way the story is told that you believe the ghosts are really there right along with Clare.

The way that the history of Riven House unfolded alongside Clare‘s personal journey kept me hooked through to the very end.

I started this after finishing Fearing the Black Body during my plasma donation today. I‘m already nearly 25% of the way through the book and I‘m pretty sure I know where this is going. Still compelling and well written, so I look forward to continuing the story.

I‘m so excited this is the first book in a cozy mystery series because I freaking loved and totally related with Mavis charter! The characters and mystery were really solid and I enjoyed the little dash of romance. I am very excited to read the next book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this solely because I was being lazy - it ticked off three prompts on the Goodreads reading challenges
Note to self: choose books because they genuinely interest you, not to satisfy a prompt.
This was repetitive, unintentionally funny in places, and I didn‘t like the writing style. The best review of it I‘ve seen is “if Temu wrote Misery”…

Book 64/80 #Read2025 @DieAReader

A group of friends head out on a remote week long getaway.

One by one, people start dying. The group quickly realizes that this is no accident—someone is targeting them. As paranoia escalates and trust erodes, dark secrets are revealed and who we thought we knew well is changed forever. You just never know people sometimes!

Such a good book. I was nervous going into it because I wasn‘t a huge fan of her book The Teacher. But this one was so good and the ending gave me goosebumps.
