July 2025 Book #5

This was a gift from a friend of mine, because this is one of her favorite authors in paranormal romance. I think this is my first novel by this author. It was good but it didn‘t impress me. My friend hasn‘t read it yet she thought it was good start because was a stand alone but I clarified her that it is part of a trilogy. But I like the “six sense” or ability to experience premonitions through her dreams⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Those dreams are not pleasant because they anre attached to a traumatic experience. There is romance which I would prefer this main character could be more assertive but let see what happens in second novel. Something happened that someone in the group is not who they seem to be. It was a little predictable at some point. Stella will have dreams connecting who that person is. Again, the motive why this person behaved in that way was⬇️ 1d

Gissy (Cont) unrealistic to me🤷🏽‍♀️But I‘m intrigued to see what is going to happen in book 2. This author has been recommended to me by different persons. Maybe this series was not the best to start with but is the shortest series I think. 3.5⭐️ 1d

Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers | Caroline Fraser

so-so

OK, now this is a really interesting hypothesis: did the preponderance of serial killers (Ted Bundy, BTK Killer, Green River Killer, I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker etc) in the 1970s & 1980s around the American Pacific Northwest have links to the high levels of environmental pollution of that time? Lead, cadmium, & arsenic were just some of the pollutants belching out of industrial smelters & Tacoma, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Washington seems to have been 'ground zero' for serial killers. So far, so good right?

Unfortunately the way this book is written makes it a very difficult read. The vital information needed is buried underneath an avalanche of superfluous information - just what is the fascination with bridges? What do road traffic accidents on said bridges have to do with serial killers? Interesting stats maybe, but not relevant here.

OutsmartYourShelf I stuck it out because, as I said, it's a really interesting hypothesis, & I really wish the author had written the book focusing on that aspect. It took me 2 weeks to read this & it really shouldn't have. 3⭐

Tourist Season: The Seasons of Carnage Trilogy | Brynne Weaver

so-so

I didn‘t love this one. I think it reads as a mystery/thriller with a dark romance undertone, which…m/t has NEVER been one of my preferred genres. The pacing was off, and the characters are…fine. I think I‘ll read the next one, but if that one doesn‘t hit….

3 stars | #darkromance #mystery #thriller

MsRadioSilence Immediately pulled that sticker off, I forgot it was on the dust jacket until I took the pic 😤 2w

5 stars for this one! It was so much fun!! I don‘t believe I‘ve read Downing before but will definitely read more now. The pacing was excellent. So many twists and surprises. I would love to see this adapted! It would be hilarious! If you‘re in a reading slump, this one will definitely get you out of it!

Zombie | Joyce Carol Oates

This is highly unpleasant reading. I‘m trying to finish off a reading challenge (a-z) and select short books so I can make my goal by end of year. I‘m actually not sure I can make it through this. 150+ pages inside the mind of a sexual predator and psychopath with very vivid imagery. I feel like I need a shower

BarbaraBB Somehow I am intrigued. What does that say about me? 3w

JenP @BarbaraBB hahaha, it‘s very short. You can try it and tell me what you think 3w

JenP @BarbaraBB also I‘ll add that one of my favorite things about Oates is her ability to thoroughly inhabit her characters. She‘s a great writer and wholly convincing. Unfortunately this character is horrible - based off of Dahmer 3w

Liz_M It's a mark of how fantastic a writer JCO is that the book is so unsettling! 3w

intothehallofbooks I read this too, a while back, after asking Litsy to share some recommendations for shocking stories. I remember being horrified as I read, and also really shocked by how believably the author portrayed the killer. 3w

JenP @Liz_M absolutely. It will be hard to rate bc I found it horrible to read but also a very skilled rendition 3w

JenP @intothehallofbooks that‘s exactly how I feel. 3w
