pickAnother good Others book, but still not as good as the original series. I love that the real monsters are human. The multiple POV format was hard to follow, but I think that‘s deliberate. I saw some of the twists coming, which didn‘t make it any less disturbing or good to read. You must have read at least the previous Lake Silence book, ideally the entire series, or you will be adrift for the whole book.

pickThat moment when the book is creepy because of humans playing mind games and not a freaky supernatural boogeyman duo, even though they existed and by all rights were very creepy. Humans suck man.
The upside is this little connecting sentence between this book series and it‘s sister series:
“P.S. Meg said I need to work on how humans say sorry. I said giving you books is better.”
I agree. Books are better.
For the record, I am immensely creeped out and incredibly thankful that I chose to sleep last night instead of reading this book after dark…. Even now, 4:30 pm, full daylight with sunset at nearly 9 pm….. I‘m not sure this book is a good idea…… I need a comfort something. Where‘s my mini 🐉 plushie George….. 😱 😱
pickI love this world. I liked the bones of this book- literally and figuratively- this was not my favorite- and there‘s no way to read this as a stand alone- and I have some thoughts I‘d love to discuss if anyone else wants to chat in a thread here.
pickWhile not as good as the first novel set in Silence Lake, this was a fast paced mystery style book. I almost felt like it was a novella with a lot of pages.
Crowbones, a legend among the Others, comes out and murders during a tricksters night celebration and brings all kinds of trouble for the growing town. Who is the real Crowbones and how can the town prevent more deaths?
3/5 stars, good but not great
pickModerate pick. I like the characters, but the villains were extremely disjointed.
Ineke remains introduced primarily by her tattoos. It came up in three chapters this time. The way Bishop clearly believes the very existence of these tattoos is both sexy and intimidating is pissing me off.
pickLove Anne Bishop, love her Others/World of the Others series! This was a great addition to the series.
I‘ve been waiting with bated breath for this book. Barely into the 2nd chapter and I am not disappointed!
