Welcome to Litsy!

Loved this - creepy murder mystery with a lump of supernatural - great writing. Read 3 of his now and loved them all.

After Aaron‘s wife is killed, he discovers some secrets that she had been hiding and it sends him on a journey to finish what she had started. Haunted by grief (and maybe even his wife), this book wasn‘t scary or propulsive, but I did want to keep reading. It was reminiscent of Peter Straub and Thomas H. Cook. More literary than I expected. This was my first book by Malfi, and I would definitely read more. 4⭐️

Here are some books that happen on a #ChillyNight.
1. Come with Me- this book was my first Malfi, and I've read everything of his I could find since then. It has a great old-school horror vibe.
2. The Winter People- such a great read by another favorite author. More suspense than horror.
3. Dead Voices- this is part of a MG series, and I loved them all.

I did like this. Just something lacking for me. Certainly not scary. Subtly done though and I did love the ending. Just something missing which I can‘t put my finger on. I think I will try another one of his books. Maybe it‘s his style. Or me? 🤷🏻‍♀️

First book read in 2024, New Year🙌
This is like a suspense, mystery novel. One December morning, Allison was killed at the mall (It‘s in the book blurb). During the process to move Allison‘s things, Aaron discovered that his wife was full of secrets and the story is about to discover Allison‘s real self but there are eerie elements in the atmosphere. It is a slow pace reading, character driven and Aaron is in a deep grief state, sad story 😔⬇️

It took me a minute to decide what to rate this one. I loved the ending. It was super unique and unexpected. And the middle started out strong. But the ending lacked just a little something. It felt more like a thriller that needed a bit more depth. But overall it was a fun read I just expected more supernatural elements.

Completed my reading goal this year of 150 books. 😃🎉

My Top-3 books of 2022. 📚

A decent mystery told in a unique way…with the grief of the MCs wife tying into it throughout the story. The plot felt reluctant to get going. Sometimes the horror/supernatural-ish elements felt like they bogged the story down with nonsense, and other times they made the story so much better…like with the ending…it just felt right. I want to say that I liked this as much as others have…but I wasn‘t quite there.
