Welcome to Litsy!

Short novella which fills in a bit of the background about Cal, a peripheral character from the second book in the main series, Sanctum. It details his initial dealings with the Scarlets, but I'm not sure it added that much to the story to be honest. 3⭐

I actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024

I‘d just started this in October & wanted to finally finish it since it was a #Roll100 pick clear back in May that I never got to.

I give it a pretty soft pick—I wanted more humor, less angst & more background on the killers they kill & growth from the characters. It‘s dark & pretty gross in parts with likable characters, but it felt hollow to me. Still, I already bought Book 2 on BOTM, so I‘ll probably read it.⬇️

I tried again yesterday to read A Little Bit Wicked. I can't get into it, so I decided to DNF. Also, I had my hold for Twisted Games come in yesterday.

It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.

This isn't my genre of choice, but I thought it would be more character driven than plot driven given the unusual age of the woman. Definitely a case of it's the reader, not the book.

Grace moves to the country in Devon with her dad for a fresh start after Grace suffered some (unspecified) trouble. They have an ex-service dog called Shelby who has also undergone a trauma of her own. The village is too quiet for Grace but it seems that may not be the whole truth. One night Grace is downstairs having trouble sleeping when the smart speaker (Alexa) in their rented house suddenly switches on & tells her “I'm going to murder you.“

I really wanted to like this end of life story, but the writing style was so distracting that I found it hard to stay in the story.

I had high hopes for this one , it was interesting and had creepy vibes , I like her writing I am just not a fan of the drawn out stories with unsatisfying endings
