The title is the only good part of this book.

The offbeat friend group from the first book consisting of reluctant medium Claire, the ghost of her forever-17-year-old murdered friend Sophie, nonbinary Alex, & gay ex-police detective Sebastian (aka Bash) go on a cheap minibreak to Spike Island, off the Irish coast. There they encounter a second group of friends on a yoga retreat who aren't particularly happy that the accommodation has been double-booked. (continued)
This one is a low pick for me. I liked the characters put the plot was just so off the rails I couldn't get totally invested in the story. I've said this numerous times, I prefer characters and plots are at least plausible, if not, then the writing must be of such quality as to make up for the short comings. 3ish Stars
I doubt I will read the other books in the series. #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #REad2025 @DieAReader #LitsyLoveReads

I was looking forward to this short audiobook but felt quite underwhelmed by it. Disappointing as I was looking forward to finding out much more about this remarkable woman. It had a nice creative lyrical style, but was lacking in depth and detail.
Growing up, one of my weekly TV viewing highlights were the repeats of 'Moonlighting' shown on British tv. The quick wit back-&-forth between David Addison & Maddie Hayes was a treat, until they brought Bert Viola onto the scene. I decided to read Shepherd's autobiography on a whim & it was OK.
'Moonlighting' itself takes up a very small part in the book (a couple of chapters at the most) & the majority of it is about Shepherd's love life.
Julian & Thea were likable but I can't say I rooted for them 100 %. The beginning was good but at some point I wasn't super invested.
I hate cliffhanger endings. This didn't work really well as an individual book.
I was intrigued by a side story. There was a strange group of people and I want to know what they want and who they are.

This is a DNF for me at around the midway point. I couldn't get into the story. The plot dragged and I didn't like either of the main characters. It was a huge disappointment for me since I normally Meghan Quinn's books. Lots of people loved this one; therefore, I am chalking it up to not my cup of tea.

Miri was a likable character but Leah was a bit flat. Through Miri it was pretty easy to relate to their emotions/relationship but I would have wanted to feel more.
This was a disappointing read because I was expecting to get a horror story and this wasn't that at all. Plotwise not so much happened and nothing that I would count as horror.

I can accept that this is nicely written, and some people will like it very much, but I‘m afraid this coming-of-age story of two sisters, set in post-war Bristol didn‘t really move me.
