Wow, Alex was unbelievable unlikable character but that was a purpose. Reading this felt so disturbing.

I enjoyed the writing and it made me laugh several times. I loved all those slang words that were used, some of them were super clever!

The story itself was pretty simple but I was curious to see how everything was going to end.

“Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that's when hope is needed most. Only those who persevere can find their true ending.”

Characters were great, really fleshed out.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was pretty mysterious. The pacing was a bit off.

The last part of the book was a bit much and at the same time “the big revelation“ was pretty lame. I have to say I expected so much more after all those pages.

I think this was plotwise better than the prequel and it was easier to enjoy the atmosphere.

“Our memories weigh us down more than we realize”

Characters were interesting, I liked Sjöberg & Petra. I loved how fleshed out characters were and how there were more than just crime investigations in this book.

This made me thought about evilness and how evil indifference can be.

There was one good twist at the end and some things about characters' personal lives were left open so there is definitely more to explore. I loved the ending, it was a good one.

“Everyone has a thousand wishes before a tragedy, but just one afterward.”

Characters were okay, they felt relatable with their worries.

I loved all that action, this was pretty thrilling to read & I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

“The very worst events in life have that effect on a family: we always remember, more sharply than anything else, the last happy moments before everything fell apart.”

I liked characters and rooted for them. Atmosphere was also really well created: this was a dark book!

Plotwise this felt like being a bit everywhere and that made me like this slightly less than previous book.

I really liked the writing and main character's “voice“. She was relatable and I really rooted for her. In the last part of the book I started to forget who was who because there were so many new characters and didn't know much of them.

Atmosphere was awesome and so well created - I even had nightmares while reading this.

As a story this was pretty simple but intriguing enough. This really was worth reading.

“Few disappointments can compare with the way you feel the first time your best friend dumps you for a boy, and there‘s no more silent walk than the one that takes you home alone after a party when you‘re fifteen years old.”

Mona was a likable character - it's easy to root for a character who has to suddenly act heroic without feeling herself like a hero. I really loved secondary characters, there were so many lovely ones!

This was hilarious, even though for some reason the last part wasn't as intriguing as the beginning. Somehow it slightly dragged and didn't offer that much.

I couldn't relate to characters, they were a bit flat and stereotypical.

I was so intrigued at the beginning but then I got frustrated because not that much happened. Well there some events but not something that would have scared me.

I really disliked the epilogue.

“Bitterness can be corrosive. It can rewrite your memories as if it were scrubbing a crime scene clean, until in the end you only remember what suits you of its causes.”

I loved characters, I felt for Amelia who was so alone in the world and forgot who she really was. Noah was lovely & grumpy with a golden heart.

This was super cozy book and I adored the setting - even though it didn't feel 100 % believable. I mean small towns have their darker sides too.

This was an easy going story, super predictable but still enjoyable. Maybe some things were solved a bit too suddenly/easily.

I really adored Sage, P and Oren! Several secondary characters were interesting but could have been more fleshed out.

The beginning was super good and I was intrigued. But this didn't work really well as a mystery book, maybe it was a bit too ambitious trying to combine so many genres in one novel. As a fantasy book this worked better, I really loved the world and this felt refreshing to read.

Leo is really intriguing characters, and I am still curious about her co-workers. Such a peculiar group!

I loved the setting, mysteries, atmosphere... And there were some thrilling moments too.

This felt a bit unbelievable but I still enjoyed reading this.

“People sometimes say that sorrow is mental but longing is physical. One is a wound, the other an amputated limb, a withered petal compared to a snapped stem. Anything that grows closely enough to what it loves will eventually share the same roots. We can talk about loss, we can treat it and give it time, but biology still forces us to live according to certain rules: plants that are split down the middle don‘t heal, they die.”

Sciona was an intriguing character, far from perfect but so awesome for that reason. I also loved Thomil. I would have preferred bad guys being also more morally grey - they were just bad and that's it.

This was so dark, I loved that. The beginning was pretty slow but then something was revealed and things felt more interesting.

This was really enjoyable book, even though sad and devastating.

Characters, especially secondary ones, were likable. I still didn't root for Diana & Matthew as a couple, I just don't like insta-love in stories. I also didn't like alpha male thing here.

I loved the atmosphere, even though with all these mysteries it could have been more thrilling and the writing was too detailed to my liking.

The whole book was a start for the series but this had a little to offer as an independent book.

Characters were realistic and nicely fleshed out. I really could relate to Ronny who had to deal with deep sorrow.

This book was more about drama than horror and that way not what I expected from this book. The drama was good but I didn't like mixing that with horror elements. As a horror story this wasn't that great because drama took so much space.

I think this was worth reading but not great if you're craving a good horror story.

I like Kurt but he is also quite depressing. This was pretty dark and heavy to read. There were thoughts about life, death etc. and they felt realistic. And depressing. This went under my skin.

The story was good but maybe a bit too long. The last part of the book was really thrilling but otherwise pretty slow.

Diem was sometimes too immature for my liking. I really loved Diem's brother and their relationship, it felt realistic.

I loved the surroundings and how magical the world felt. The town where Diem lived felt cozy. I would have appreciated to have more answers because things didn't feel to go forward during this book.

There were several unbelievable scenes.

For me this was entertaining enough, but quite mediocre book in this genre.

I rooted for Rin and overall loved how morally grey she felt. There were several secondary characters that weren't really fleshed out.

This book was brutal, even hard to read for all the cruelty. I think atmosphere was well created but not pleasant.

There was a lot of action, there weren't many slow moments. I think I would have loved to have a more concrete plot but I am not sure - this worked like this and somehow I loved the ending.

I couldn't really relate to Red, she was thinking same things over and over again. Other characters were pretty flat.

It took so long before things started to feel thrilling and the most part of the book people were just babbling and doing almost nothing.

I got tired of repetitive writing.

The last part of the book was good and there were some nice twists. There were still some super unbelievable things happening that felt just ridiculous.

Characters felt realistic. The family & Margaret's friendship with Diane made everything feel alive.

I loved how oppressive atmosphere was: Margaret & Casey were living alone with their father and he was acting strangely and I could feel their anxiety.

This was pretty straightforward story.

This was a great book about friendship, how it changes over time. Characters were nicely fleshed out.

I thought this would be funnier and was a bit disappointed. This was still a decent story but much more serious than what I expected.

MMC wasn't to my taste, I didn't like how and why things had ended five months ago. I still liked the ending.

Characters weren't really fleshed out but I still could relate to siblings who were main characters. When Amanda was arguing with her brother it was like walking down on memory lane 😅

The beginning wasn't as good as the last part of the book. This was a mysterious story and all the time creepier and creepier... I loved the ending, it was somehow disturbing!

This was a light read, entertaining. Not really romantic, chemistry felt a bit off.

I liked Lisen and even Teddy, but characters were a bit flat.

I didn't like some events at the last part of the book, they even felt unlogical. Pages turned quickly and I was entertained.

Characters weren't really fleshed out and can also be seen pretty stereotypical.

This was a real slasher, atmosphere was awesome and I adored the setting too. This had so much action that at some point I started to hope some slower moment where characters could make plans.

I appreciate how hard it was to guess how everything was going to end but the reason is obvious after reading the author's note.

This was a fun read!

I could relate to Jack and I loved how clever she was. The beginning of the book made me feel so much 💔 I also loved Jack's relationship with her sister.

I love this kind of thrillers - thrillers that take your breath away. This was so captivating, so intriguing and I loved this so much.

Some things I could guess but there were so many surprises that I didn't mind. I didn't love the ending but it was okay.

I know this was a novella but I still think you can have more fleshed out characters even in a shorter story. I couldn't relate to these characters.

This was pretty creepy and atmospheric, but I am just not a big fan of cosmic horror. I didn't like the writing either, it just made my mind wander and I had to concentrate really hard on reading.

I know some really love this. This was a decent story but I just prefer other horror genres.

I am not sure how believable this was but still fun & enjoyable.

Characters were really likable, I could relate to Grace who had such a humorous “voice“.

There was quite a bit of talk about technology but things were explained so well that it was still light to read. This was intriguing story, captivating.

I appreciate how there happened something all the time - that kept things interesting.

I think there was a nice group of characters but I think most of them could have been more fleshed out. I still could relate to Chris who had so much going on in her life, all those difficulties and worries. Father Karras felt also humane with him doubting his faith.

This felt more like a thriller than a horror story to me - I loved to figure things out but this didn't get me scared.

Story itself was pretty straightforward and simple.

I loved how this was actually a book about friendship - but there were so many topics handled that everyone should find some parts relatable.

The middle part was at times a bit dragging, and I didn't love how things weren't told in chronological order. It was strange because things were otherwise told in order.

Sometimes it was hard to know what was wanted to say by this book. The last part was really good & I loved it. It felt the most honest.

I really liked the writing and main character's “voice“. She was relatable/likable and I really rooted for her. In the last part of the book I started to forget who was who because there were so many new characters suddenly and we didn't know much of them.

Atmosphere was awesome and so well created.

As a story this was pretty simple but intriguing enough. This really was worth reading and I am happy how I finally read this.

I loved characters and they were so relatable. I had so much fun with them!!

This was really fun & light and I adored the setting.

Pictures aren't working anymore 😭

I can't say I felt much for the characters. They weren't really fleshed out and everything went forward so quick.

This was somehow really rushed story.

This was super slow book to read - I didn't love all those long long phrases and chapters that were as long as novellas. This was also depressing to read, but I think that was the point.

Main characters were nicely fleshed out but there was also a bunch of people that we knew by their names only.

The story itself was good but I don't know if all these pages really were necessary.

Reading this felt quite disturbing but also intriguing. Nevertheless at some point it started to feel like the story wasn't moving forward.

I felt for Vanessa and I could understand why she thought the way she did. But I was so sad for her too. Characters were nicely fleshed out.

I think I was waiting for a satisfying ending and was left without.

I loved characters! Even secondary characters were nicely fleshed out.

This was cute even though not a feelgood book. There were many thoughts about death and that made this a bit heavy to read.

This was pretty similar than the previous book but I think I liked this more. This was just quite long and somehow repetitive and I think this could have been shorter. There were things that felt quite unbelievable but somehow I still liked the story.

Characters were a bit flat, I think Persephone was most likable. I think characters should have been more fleshed out.

This was first intriguing but soon just confusing. I think this book tried to be too many things and was lacking coherence.

“Here's the truth no one ever wants to admit when death is on the horizon, or when you're deep in that grief—as long as you keep existing, you'll keep breathing, and if you're breathing, one day you'll start living again.”

I think there were too many characters, well or too many two-dimensional characters. It was hard to remember who was who, relate to them or care about them.

The beginning was pretty hilarious and intriguing but the second part was a bit much to me. There wasn't any plot to follow even though some events were fun. It was just hard to understand how everythings was connected and what was the meaning for everything happening.

I think this book should have been longer and that way have more fleshed out characters.

I think atmosphere & world could have been more intriguing but now everything felt rushed.

The plot was good enough but too rushed.

The whole story was told through letters and it was a bit hard to relate to characters first and they stayed a bit distant. All their voices were similar and sometimes you had to double check who's letter to whom were you reading.

This was a slow book, but atmosphere was nice & cozy.

This was predictable: when something important was revealed I knew immediately how this was going to end.

The world was intriguing!

Characters were well created, they made me feel. This was captivating, thrilling and enjoyable read.

This was pretty straightforward story, not as twisting as I expected. But there was still a twist that I didn't see coming and I loved the feeling.

I would have loved to spend more time with these lovely characters. This book made me almost cry, this was much more touching than the previous books.

I don't really love mysteries in these books, they seem to feel like being everywhere. That makes it easy to leave the book aside.

“We complain about life so endlessly and so bitterly, and yet we cling to it so dearly? Surely that makes no sense?”

“Days of death are days when we weigh our relationship with love in our bare hands. Days when we remember what has gone, and fear what is to come. The joy love brings, and the price we pay. When we give thanks but also pray for mercy.”
