Welcome to Litsy!

First the good is that the premise was interesting and it had a creepy atomosphere to it as I had hoped. Then i don't even know what the heck just happened. So many unanswered questions! There was a big buildup to what happens on the island during night. Weird things go on but never any answers. Then it just ended. If it would have spread out over a couple of books I think it could have been great. Unfortunately it just wasn't and was frustrating.

3✨ The ending was really sudden for a tense book. Throughout the book I‘m not sure I completely knew what was happening. However, I predicted some big reveals. I liked the danger to keep me reading. Read for #lmpbc

Yay! My next #lmpbc book came today. Thank you @BarkingMadRun

Went to Lowe‘s with the hubs and stayed in the car to finish my book!

I‘m laughing because one of you also have the title I tagged! I can also buy something lol it‘s all good to me. What do you all think?!

I‘m not sure what to say about this book. It‘s not the best I‘ve ever read but the writing and suspense were well done, which is why I gave it the rating I did and made it an overall pick. I could have used an inset story to explain exactly the who, what, where origins of the monsters.

Quick read. The audiobook was a decent background while doing other tasks. It's best not to think too deeply about this one. It's an interesting premise, but the story falls apart under any scrutiny.

I finished this one amid the odor of algal bloom funneling up the canyon from the coast, which went well with a story about eerie things happening on an island.

On Marin's island of Bliss the sun cycle lasts for 14 years. As the dark times approach the villagers set sail to ride out the Night in the Desert Lands. When 3 teens are left behind they discover the real reason their people leave in times of Darkness. They may be the only people left on the island but they're not alone. They're being hunted by things that go bump in the night.

14 days of day and then 14 days of night....just as the ships are about to leave, a boy goes missing. Marin and Karin look for their friend and ended up getting left behind. They have no idea what to do until they find a note that says “HIDE”. This book didn‘t hit the mark for me. There was a lot of unanswered questions.

The premise of the book is realy interesting, but the execution is very insipid. There are quite a few essential plot holes and no character development. The beginning was creepy and set a great atmosphere, but as the story advances, there is little to no explanation for a lot of things, the main characters take a lot of silly decisions and the plot twist falls flat. It is a book that feels unfinished. It was quite a disappointment.

Sorry for spamming everyone with reviews, haven't been on in awhile and left a bunch of books in my reading pile. This was a bookclub pick and it had so much potential, great atmospheric creepy build yet I was expecting something more sinister to go with the rituals. Unique idea but didn't pull it off in my opinion. 3 generous stars #2016read #bookclubpick

My third book for the #readathon with my new reading buddy Pedro. Bindi bailed halfway through the Witches. #teamoz

The book has an interesting premise - long Days that last for years followed by long Nights that last for years. All the odd little rituals that only one character questions made it feel a little like The Village. There's not a lot of character development and it feels a bit like the story starts about a quarter of the way through, as if we're missing the backstory or at least an introduction. Having two writers may explain some of the problems.

So APL came through for me again with two more of the books I put on hold. I'm going to read Nightfall first because it's intrigued me for awhile so I need to get it out of the way so I can read Riverkeep. This putting books on hold at the library business is going to be dangerous.

Of course that‘s what you would say. But that doesn‘t mean it‘s true.

Is there nobody in this town who thinks for themselves

Only children entertain the fantasy that adults know how and why everything works.

This was wonderfully creepy but a couple of plot holes and a lack of investment in the characters earned this a 3/5.

This is another one of those books that sounded awesome and I was kind of into it but then I lost focus and interest on it. I'm gonna try to pick it back up soon and give it a second chance. It had some good aspects

Currently reading. It is creepy and the 3 teenagers are facing unknown, seemingly vicious enemy....
