The premise was interesting, however the beginning of the book was a bit dark and I got a bit bored about a third of the way through. I might read the second volume as the story starts to pick up a little towards the end, but we will see. I did appreciate the author‘s commentary and cultural explanations at the very end as a lot of the references went right over my head.

24/100: four better than last week. 😂 Some of these made me cringe just by looking at the cover (talking to you, LORD JIM)!
Three faves:
JANE EYRE: in my top 5 of all time.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: best ghost story ever written.
THE GREAT GATSBY: loved this since I first read it in high school--I still have my original book with all of my notes inside.
Not sure when or if I can remember a book giving me goosebumps from the creep and fright. 😱 👻 This book was such an unexpected story and I didn‘t know where it was going. It was very well written. I highly recommend…but read it during the day lol 😅😶🌫️🫢 I also recommend her other book Hunted, it‘s a totally different story. 🥰👣👀
pickArthur Kipps is sent to a remote village to settle a client‘s affairs after she has died. There is a “woman in black“ who haunts the deceased clients house and area. This is beautifully written, one of the best ghost stories I have ever read. Overall- exceptionally good read. ⬇️
Make a great day everyone 😊
pickThe search for the killer of Jenny, the resident ghost murdered 10 years ago, takes Jackaby and Abby to new and scary depths. In undertaking the task, they learn that something evil has been collecting the best scientists of their time (late 1800s) to build the future—without humans. Ending in a cliffhanger, be prepared to read the last book in the series as soon as this one‘s finished. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 #litsyatoz #letterG

This is a beautiful daisy book cover which makes me feel conflicted because it‘s supposed to protect my books but I also really don‘t want to ruin it. Adding another to my TBR from a late Christmas Present. 🎄
pickIn 1935, five men set off to follow in the ill-fated footsteps of the 1905 expedition up Kangchenjunga. Little do they know the mountain is hiding a dark secret. I like historical and psychological horror but this one was a soft pick. There was just so many opportunities to make this story truly horrifying, disturbing, and unsettling but Paver chose to take a safer route. I‘m hoping her other book Dark Matter will make me afraid of the dark.
