I wasn't fan of writing and maybe that left characters a bit distant.
I would have preferred a stronger plot.
This was okay but I didn't love this.

I have always loved Scotland (no wonder I ended up having a Scottish herding dog) so it isn't a big surprise that I love the setting in this book ❤️ And can you believe: there is a Finnish character as well 🤣🤣
Coffee & starting a new book by an almost local author. Continuing the series because I love to read about historical life in the same area where I am living.
I wish you all have an awesome day ❤️
so-soI still liked the Millie, even though I wasn't super thrilled that this book took place 10 years later to the second book.
I was quite disappointed with this book: this wasn't as thrilling as the previous book. Almost nothing happened, chapter after chapter about Millie's life as a mom. The last part was intriguing but this could have been so much shorter without loosing anything important.
so-soI read a Finnish book that was interesting and showed how was life after WW2.
But the writing was too detailed for my liking and the plot was non-existent.
Nevertheless I liked characters but was disappointed how the most intriguing question was never answered.

I am struggling at the moment. I think this Garfield cartoon fits my mood pretty well.
It's almost exactly 6 months from Hugo's death today. It has surprised me how hard this is. He was my best friend, and so big part of my daily life. He was a part of me and being a dog owner was a part of my identity.

I have got this letter some time ago from @ju.ca.no
I got a good chance to post this so I can tell at the same time how I also sent some #LitsyLove today :D Be on the lookout @Sleepswithbooks
so-soCharacters were likable but the pacing was off. This was slow but the ending was suddenly super fast and felt rushed. This was okay but didn't feel special.
I got today some #LitsyLove (part 3, still two first parts on their way xD). I also got a Valentine's card earlier ❤️

pickCharacters were so well created and I loved to follow their adventures. Some didn't survive and that made me to cry. I love it so much when a book makes me feel. There was also a nice a sliver of romance.
I loved all the scheming and especially morally grey characters that made me unsure about who to trust. I couldn't guess what was going to happen next and that was awesome.

pickI loved to get to know more about V's past, and I really loved Jane who was smart and sassy. There were also so many scenes showing what happened to other characters in the series and there is still so much coming!
I am not 100 % what I think about the ending and things that happened there. But this was a compelling read.

so-soFor me the FMC didn't feel a real badass. She was so dedicated to kill someone but I didn't get the badass vibes. She felt just young.
This had pretty little to offer, there was a side plot and some people after the FMC but that felt lame and I wasn't worried for her or anything like that.

so-soJulian & 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.

pickCharacters were absolutely awesome.
This wasn't just a thriller: there was a lot of scenes handling family relationships / broken family. But the mystery was there all the time and I was intrigued to know more.
This wasn't really original story, it was devastatingly easy to guess the most important things. I have to admit that I was expecting some great twist.
Captivating and entertaining to read.
