Welcome to Litsy!

This was an amazingly disturbing read.. an absolute page turner

So new it isn't listed. Twisty tale set against a backdrop of lockdown. Read it in 2 sittings. In Melbourne for Easter break, very appropriate 📚

I enjoyed the read, but some of the plot just didn‘t make sense to me.

Spent some time at Chapters and the #thriftstore this morning, and managed to pick up 15 books for $32. Not a bad deal at all!

If you‘ve read any of these, let me know your thoughts! ☺️

3 Stars Heads up this book has tigger warnings related to trauma. The suspense was great but it started to get confusing with the odd timeline of before and after. It's written in the first person too, but then at the very end the point of view changes. The first person "I" is hard for me to get into a story sometimes. Overall a decent read.

Well, this was creepy! And not as cookie cutter as a lot of psych thrillers these days. Kate/Evie is being held against her will. She's told that it's to protect her from herself, but she can't seem to recall the events of the night in question. What happened? The suspense definitely builds and while the ending wasn't perfect, I was also never certain what was going on. All in all an entertaining read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting way to start a book. It's the first page. 😳

A very well written thriller, a debut.. & I will look out for this author in the future.
Written on a fine line of what is true or untrue , what is memory ? What happened ?
Set in a remote beach area of New Zealand which adds to the eerie atmosphere ... it will take me a while to process who was who , and what it all means. Well thought out & intriguing.

Thanks Paula , really enjoying this one in some sunshine ... set in New Zealand so far .. and from page to page the story keeps me intrigued... a good read ! What is Kate/Evie‘s story , even she dosnt seem to remember 👍🏻

It was a big yes from me for Call Me Evie. It‘s always hard to review thrillers without giving too much away. Suffice to say, if you like mysteries that slowly unravel, in which you narrator (seems) to know as much as you do, this is definitely for you. Call Me Evie is taut and perfectly paced. I loved it.

Perfect ISO mystery

This was a good read but I expected more from the hype, it wasn‘t an OMG ending it was more of an oh, ok, gotcha.. next 😅 still worth the read though

🎧 BOOK NAME = TELL ME LIES. Another Book not in this APP‘s database. This is one of the two free monthly books you get as an Audible member. They‘re more novella-size. This is a great free little book!! Mystery/Thriller. It has twists & turns. Psychologist meets her match. I‘d recommend this book if you like thrillers. I enjoyed it! (I‘m still trying to get into The Fifth Season) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

Paula , Thankyou so much ! I‘m looking forward to this one 👍🏻❤️. I love a thriller, perfect choice for me. The chocolate didn‘t last long enough to make it into the pic ... soooo delicious & I‘m loving the pins & I love the stickers for me & my little doll. . You have me spoilt.
Happy Christmas to you & yours my lovely book friend ! Love , Cathy X

This one was just ok. I read so many thrillers that it‘s hard to surprise me anymore, and the twist wasn‘t all that shocking to me, and maybe I just missed them but the clues didn‘t really seem to be there. I did like how the two timelines worked seamlessly together, and I liked the suspense. But the character‘s motivations didn‘t make sense and were contradictory. Still better than last month though!

This month‘s book club pick! The little I‘ve read so far has been pretty enjoyable, so I‘m hopeful that this will turn out better than last month‘s book (thinking about Asymmetry still makes me mad lol).

'Its important to see the world the way it is, you cant do anything about it if your not aware'
And Evie is not aware, or is she?

YES YES YES!!! Super engaging structure, had me genuinely tense and worried for the characters. If it had been a movie I would have been covering my eyes in fearful anticipation. Well worth the read, highly recommended.

This was just a big “meh.” I am starting to feel like all thrillers just use the same tropes over and over again. I guessed most of the twists by the end.. and there was a couple aspects that I didn‘t feel were explained at all (but maybe I missed them because I was just skimming toward the end). Nothing particularly bad here, but nothing great either.

It is a negative review, I know and I'm so sorry about. I put a lot of expectations over this book and really wanted to like it, but it left me disappointed. It does have a beautiful cover, tho.

Slow-burn, but not in a good way. Nothing seemed to happen until the end, and even then it didn‘t slam dunk. It totally kept me reading though because I wanted to know if something was going to happen!

Anyone read this and have any thoughts (without spoilers)?!? I‘m not sure what to think yet and I‘m this far in..

Starting this ☝🏻!!

I like a good, twisty thriller and this tries really hard to be that. The “main twist,” so to speak, was easy to guess. As the author tried to turn that twist on its head, it just got confusing and lost any power it might have had. The last 50 pages were an immense disappointment. The book was at a quiet simmer and tried to reach a rolling boil right at the end. It didn‘t. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a solid, different sort of thriller. I LOVED how the author used memory and psychosis to slowly bring the reader up to speed on what was actually happening and who these main characters were. I‘ll admit I did figure out some of the twists but I could never have guessed how they‘d come about. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

In this propulsive, twist-filled, and haunting psychological suspense debut perfect for fans of Sharp Objects and Room, a seventeen-year-old girl struggles to remember the role she played on the night her life changed forever.

A riveting debut novel that fearlessly plumbs the darkest recesses of the mind, Call Me Evie explores the fragility of memory and the potential in all of us to hide the truth, even from ourselves.

Next up!

Insane! Fantastic read, very suspenseful and a great twist ending!

What a fantastic debut novel. I read this in two sittings and when I wasn‘t reading it I was thinking about it. This is sure to be one of the bestselling psychological thrillers of 2019! I had no idea what direction this story was going to in and I wasn‘t disappointed.

Release date March 2019.
