pickI really like the Hitchcock theme and references in this one, but the characters were rather unlikeable. I always enjoy her writing though!

@AshRob22 thank you for this perfect #AllHallowsReadSwap package. I love the stuffing out of every last bit of it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to hide all the treats I got today from my husband and kids lol.
And many many thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this swap again this year. I always look forward to it and am grateful you take the time and effort into wrangling all of us into order lol

pickAnnabel, Chloe, Esther & Tanya are surprised to receive an invitation from Poppy, the girl they bullied in their school days, offering a paid vacation on a private island to celebrate her impending nuptials. It soon becomes clear that Poppy has not forgotten their past cruelties, & that each of the four has secrets of her own. A dark & twisty story of revenge that follows familiar tropes, but vividly describes Poppy's torment and its consequences.

I had so much fun with this read! I loved all the Easter eggs, and the writing had just enough Hitchock feel, mixed with a modern take to make it feel fresh.
I did the audio version, and the narrator did an excellent job.
One of my favorite mystery/spooky reads this month.

I was going to give up on Stephanie Wrobel after how much I hated “This Might Hurt” but that damn cover wouldn‘t let me. Why can‘t books live up to their covers? The biggest reason this book didn‘t click with me is that I‘m not a big Hitchcock fan, and this book references his work a lot. But, if you are a fan of Hitchcock, you might enjoy this book more than I did. The narration by Michael Crouch, Gail Shalen, & Helen Lloyd was good.

🎧 I finished Ten, which I struggled to read. Quite an immature approach and not a horror at all. Such a let down. I almost DNF it.
