Welcome to Litsy!

That was a flora and fauna snooze fest, but I got another bingo 😁

I could tell very early on the writing was simply not for me. It was so repetitive in telling about rot and decay to create a spooky atmosphere, but it was too much and just didn‘t work for me.

“Hazelthorn has barely dragged its decayed corpse into the 21st century…”

“Beyond it, the inky dark of the hallway stretches like a diseased throat…”

“The dark stares back, mouth wet.”🤔

“His stomach is full of curdled cream and rotted violet stems…”

Such a great title, but I didn't enjoy the style. She's very much saying “this is how it was,“ and it really wasn't, for me. #HailTheBail

I may come back to this, but it is not keeping my attention. I also find the romance very lacking.

Pretty sure this would just depress the hell out of me.

I‘ve picked this up and put it down three times. I‘ve made it about 30% and I just am not feeling it. The writing is just not keeping my interest. Too bad because it has a cool premise! #hailthebail

Setting aside for now. I may go back to it as I did purchase the ebook. However, age gap romance is not my favorite and the hero is not all that likable. I made it 46%. Is it worth me returning to?

I guess John Grisham isn't an author for me. I found this kind of tedious, and I wasn't invested in finding out how it ended. Moving on.... #hailthebail

I read 4 chapters in 30 days because I had to force myself to read this. The discomfort isn't worth the effort. This is just not for me. Since I tried this for #withthebanned, I will say that just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it doesn't have value for others. Book bans are stupid.
