Welcome to Litsy!

🎧 Creating a Z train line under the Hudson wakes monsters in the dark. Now there are people trapped, in the dark, under the Hudson. Reminded me of The Strain or Relic/Reliquary Pendergast. The author narrates. It was worth the free library read, thank you Hoopla. There was political intrigue, murder, death, violence, betrayal, monsters, heroes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

As New York City prepares to unveil their extensive subway line all the way to the Hudson River, the city awakens prehistoric creatures living underground. Victims trapped by these bloodthirsty monsters must find a way to survive and escape the m.j massacre in this horror filled novel.

⭐⭐ The creatures part was great. The people? Not so much. Highly unbelievable and ridiculous characters. Plus a shadow organization hiding the existence of the creatures? Nah.

Spent all afternoon engrossed in this chilling monster sci-fi!! I'm at 67% and it is SO hard to put down!!!

3.75* This is a really fun, subterranean horror/sci-fi book. Lots of action and some great characters. It has a lot of plot holes but it moves fast enough that you don‘t really care. My big issue: I feel like it‘s written to be turned into a movie. That and a series. You can tell that from about halfway through. Still very entertaining and I‘ll for sure be reading the whole series.

Can‘t remember where I saw this suggested but I‘m glad I did. So far, a very interesting subterranean horror.

The story reminded me of 2 of my favorite horror books, The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone and The Descent by Jeff Long. In these books, humanity is threatened by a heretofore unknown species living underground. The story has likable heroes, some terrible villains, double crosses and some mild political intrigue. The ending is a definite set up to the next book in the series.The story was interesting, I was rooting for the people to make it to safety.

Alright I give up. I‘ve made it to 64% and I have zero motivation to pick this up so I‘m bailing. There‘s nothing inherently wrong with this book, for all appearances it should be a quick and action packed read. Which action packed it definitely is, but I am dragging my feet. I‘m just not sure this book is for me. I might give it a try (and read the last 100 pages I‘ve got) later but for right now...not for me.

Isn‘t this that guy from Hamilton? Kind of odd for a real person in our pop culture to show up in a book where it‘s an alternate future and everyone else is made up...President, mayors, technicians, everyone...except him. I don‘t know, it just strikes me as weird 🤷🏼‍♀️

An entertaining sci-fi Horror/thriller. Kind of implausible but entertaining nonetheless. It has characters to become invested in, one or two surprise deaths, and lots going on beneath the surface - in more ways than one. However the reader is left feeling just a little dissatisfied with the experience. Rating: 3 ⭐️

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Harper360, for the opportunity to review an ARC.

And now for something completely different....

I didn't get to read much today, but I did spend most of the day dealing with the shipping and online sales reporting of the tagged book (the author James "Murr" Murray is on Impractical Jokers and co-wrote Awakened). Murr personalized a few hundred books for our bookstore to ship out. Exhausted, but now I really want to read the book!

This book read like a cheesy 90‘s action movie.... I really liked it! Ridiculous one liners, monsters from the deep, and melodrama makes for a fun book. Out this month! 🤗 #goodreadsgiveaway

You know it‘s Wednesday when you see this same view in a picture from me! 😂 Reading some before yoga.
Side note: didn‘t mean to start this book but I had read the first chapter and I couldn‘t put it down! So far so good!

UPS just dropped off this #bookmail Yayy!!! One of the #goodreadsgiveaways. Sounds interesting!!!

Last book completely read in #Canada! This #CreatureFeature is a fun thriller written by none other than “Murr” of Impractical Jokers! It‘s a fast-paced read and sets the stage for more books to follow! I can‘t wait! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
