panThis sounded like a great read as I love dark books, but the execution of this one is horrible. No sense of creeping menace just weirdness. I think the main problem was that I just didn‘t connect with the main character at all.
Overall, a rather soulless 1⭐️
pickI really liked this book. It was kooky and sci-fi and the settings of a 1950s asylum was great.
Current read. So excited to start this one! Anyone read it yet?
Fun fact: I love to knit bookmarks and I'm giving this one to a friend and I'm making myself another one, a parasol pattern that also looks like a seashell. Will probably use this for the library books I'm getting. Also: should I sell bookmarks on Etsy?
To-Read is now being built again after losing both my Goodreads list. So now I'm writing the list down on paper instead. Hopefully I don't lose that. Starting at the top and going down the list
so-soFirst of all, my next book must at no point be set in a mental hospital! I picked this up as a short read, completely forgetting the blurb and only thinking Lukavics writes #YA horror.
This story is compelling to read and absolutely creepy, but it‘s as much science fiction as horror and just didn‘t turn out to be what I had hoped for.
Also, mature YA with a couple sex scenes that will keep it off my middle school shelf.

I've been anticipating this one for a long time because Amy is one of the best YA horror writers out there.
panThis book has so much potential ....
✔ Promising & intriguing plot
✔ Suspenseful writing
✔ Creepy and haunting
... but fell short in the end 😞
❌ Out of focus plot towards the end
❌ Rushed ending
❌ Confusing and incomplete ending
Rating: 2🌟
And I can't quite decide yet if I'd read another Lukavics' book. I do like her writing very much 😐

The paragraph that nailed the coffin closed on this book for me. 🤦🏼♀️ I'm not the intended audience but that's my bad because I requested the ARC thinking it was a different book. Unless you're into risqué teen novels, this book probably isn't for you.
