Welcome to Litsy!

This was so close to a DNF for me. I really felt that it needed better editing. I found the concept of the astrarium confusing & didn‘t feel that it was properly explained at any point. The pacing was way off and overall it could have been a good deal shorter.

This novel is set in northern Vermont in the cold of winter. It‘s a thriller. A woman awakens after being struck in the head soaking wet on the edge of the lake. She has no memory of who or where she is. A man takes her into an isolated house by a seemingly nice man. The only clue is a silver bracelet with an engraved letter A on it. 4/5⭐️

Very descriptive from start to finish, allowing me to visualize it like a movie. I could probably draw a map from the way things are described, and I'd say it really picked up in the end. It wasn't as good as Ask for Andrea but quite similar in style. 8/10 I would recommend. Would be a good book gift for someone who is also a runner (main character/huge point of plot is running).

A generous So-So as this really isn't my thing at all. The intricately described hacking was meaningless to this technophobe & the plot hung limply together on the very flimsiest of threads. The pace was off & the flow was disjointed. Worst of all, the bad guy was poorly written - no nuance, no understanding of her motives, no depth.

Started off slow but glad I stuck it out. So good.

Starting this very old NetGalley request today. I have no idea why I might have requested this as it is really not "my bag" but I'll give it a go!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Another wild-ride thriller followed up with a bonus epilogue! This was definitely a unique, interesting and disturbing story and not what I was expecting but, in a good way!😱

This one is a YA mystery rooted in online fan culture and oh my Lord...! I've only ever dipped my toes into fandom but even with my limited experience, there is so much about this story that rings scarily, hilariously true. I didn't love the resolution but the journey was a quick and wild ride. Recommended in spite of the implausible coincidences and deep need to suspend disbelief; it's a lot of fun anyway, and you'll get just what you came for.

Loved this thriller followed up by a short story about one of the characters after! So intense and scary to think about this happening!😱
