4.5 stars — Wow. That was nothing like what I was expecting. I mean, I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. I was sucked in almost immediately. The first few chapters had a bit of a Titanic retelling feel, but that’s as long as that lasted (obviously). All the same, it […]
3.5 stars — While I was intrigued by the plot and where it would go, in the end I wasn’t particularly attached to the characters, or the romance, which tends to be my bread and butter…and something I need to really push a book over the top. I both listened and read, though I only […]
4 stars — Interesting look at the Amish. No idea how accurate it is, especially considering that is has been altered at least a bit to accommodate the horror aspects of the story. But it still wasn’t a bad look at the religion necessarily. You got to see the good bits, the community, the simplicity. And […]
4.5 stars — Well this book lived up to the spookiness I was looking for without traumatizing me! Yay! I switched between reading and listening to this one, because while I LOVED Mr. Williams narration, honestly it scared me a bit more listening than reading and I just couldn’t paralyze myself in bed at night. […]
4.5 stars — Oh look, another strange disjointed thoughts review…you’re welcome. Very atmospheric. I could imagine the world and the people and the mythology. Loved the whole existence of Gods, but not really present as much anymore. I enjoyed the narrator — found it was one of those rare books that I enjoyed reading and […]

4 stars — Well, that was entirely unexpected!! I actually started off listening to the audiobook for this one, and while I was really enjoying Ms. Nankani’s narration, all of the online chatting made for a tedious listening experience (because she had to read off EVERYTHING). And confusing on occasion. So I switched to the […]
4.5 stars — I was daunted by this book…I don’t know why, I so wanted to read it. But I just kept putting it off. Thank god for buddy reading, it was just the push I needed to get started. I did try the audio first, b/c I wanted to know how to pronounce things…but […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that took me through all of the emotions. I had all these desires for the first half of the book, and then things started shifting and I started shifting with it…and feeling conflicted. And so confused. Needless to say because of all that, this is going to be a vague and […]
