Welcome to Litsy!

While the setting and storyline promised atmosphere and intensity, it wasn‘t until the last 25% when thongs started to come together.

Love a witchy town story.

The James women have always had special abilities and Cabal Hollow has always feared the Moth Winged Man. But how are they connected?

Christmas Book Advent Day 12! I love this cover!

Bittersweet in the Hollow is set in the small, isolated Applachian town of Caball Hollow which is encompassed by the National Forest. The story follows Linden James who has a paranormal gift. This dark fast-paced YA thriller combining mystery, horror, folklore and a touch of romance, grips the reader from the beginning, the tension mounting with each revelation and twist. I completely devoured Bittersweet in the Hollow and absolutely recommend it.

Somehow I‘ve managed to read another moth-man inspired arc from NetGalley and I wasn‘t even mad about it. I quite enjoyed this YA thriller. I absolutely loved the setting, deep in the Appalachians, such a wonderful and mysterious place. For this to be this author‘s debut novel, I was surprised because this was fantastic! I will be picking up the sequel. 3.75/5

This book was okay. It just felt like every other book I have read come out this month in YA thriller. Whimsical, with lyrical writing and a lot of character plot. There is not too much time spent on the thriller aspect. It just feels like it's been way over done this year. Also, it's not a bad book, tho. 3/5

When the book you're reading talks about the Moth-Winged Man's giant red eyes and you glance up to see... 👀

Damn it, Mothman! 😅

I came up to Schuler's Books in West Bloomfield, Michigan for Kate Pearsall's debut novel. She's in conversation with Andrea Hannah (Where Darkness Blooms) and Rebecca Mix (The Ones We Burn).

Her entire family is here for a launch, wearing custom t-shirts, bringing snacks, and absolutely bursting with pride. It's the most adorable thing ever. 🥰

Enjoying one of the last days of summer by sitting outside and reading an ARC of Bittersweet In the Hollow. I've been under the weather and slept most of yesterday, but was able to work on catching up on some book club stuff today. My daughter is home from college for a couple days already because she missed the cats. 😂 What are you up to?
