#readingresolutions day 7 #suspense @Jess7

This book is intense and I loved it. It is the type of suspense that comes from seeing a downward spiral and knowing something horrible is coming and knowing you can't stop it. You don't know what the bad is gonna be precisely, but just that it will be very bad.

For anyone with tastes that run along descents into madness meets coming of age type stories, sprinkled with violence; this book is for you!

LauraJ Who doesn‘t love a good descent into madness! 🖤 6y

madamereadsalot1 @LauraJ right!?! It's been nearly 20 years since I've read it, so some things are fuzzy and it really deserves a reread, but I can say it's twisted enough to have stuck around in the dark corners of my brain where all the messed up things hang out in. Ha!! 6y

LauraJ Have you read

The Wasp Factory: A Novel

(edited) 6y

madamereadsalot1 @LauraJ I haven't even heard of it, it's on my list now though! Thank you for the suggestion! 6y

☕My humble cuppa and The Butcher Boy!
Good morning everyone! ☉
I've almost finished 'The Waking Fire' by Anthony Ryan and hence going to start my next book soon! Despite this not being a fantasy, The Butcher Boy is a classic pyschological fiction that has caught my interest. I can't wait to start reading!! 💕
