Welcome to Litsy!

Wow, this book! It just blew me away. Felix felt so real, even when I wasn't reading the book he was there with me. More than once I had to close the book, because my emotions run wild. Kacen states that this a very personal book, and it shows. On each page. It also shows how much pressure there is on young people. We olf folk tend to smile at what teenagers have to go through, forgetting how it feels to have the whole world on your shoulders.

Crazy thriller as man tries to find out what happened to his wife who has disappeared. Lots of action, many twists and turns, and trying to figure out who the bad guys are gets complicated.

#roll100 a quirky crime story from comedy legend Bob Mortimer. I enjoyed the ramblings of Gary‘s brain as definitely reminded me of some of Bob‘s stories in ‘would I lie to you‘ not the greatest novel I‘ve ever read but by no means the worst!

Jewell always manages to hook me in. While the ending made this one a soft pick for me, the pacing was great. I appreciated that Alix's ignoring of major red flags felt like a natural progression here - she's just too far into the story to back down now. I like my fiction tied with a bow, so some of the ambiguity at the end annoyed me (plus one major plot point wasn't how I would have gone so), but overall I couldn't stop turning pages.

Started out as a So-So, then a low Pick, now a Pick. There are quite a lot of characters and I had troubles telling them apart at first. I think, this would be a great full-cast audio book.
The dialogues are written in Swiss German, but since it's not my dialect, it wasn't that easy reading them. It felt like switching between two foreign languages 😅
But kudos to the four authors who managed to write a book together 👍

Looking forward to my #readyourebooks choice this month as I‘ve shockingly not tried a Jodi Foster bk yet tho they seem right up my alley.
Tagged is #bookspin and #doublespin is Wide Sargasso Sea (which I‘m happy to finally be reading with the #hashtagbrigade)
#aam is giving me the excuse to pick up Station Eleven
So it looks like a game of catch up all round, and not least in #roll100
Hope y‘all having just as much fun this May!

I'm really enjoying the series. Well written, fascinating characters, particularly Lamb, and lots of excitement with twists and turns.

I got a roller coaster of feels while reading this, but the 3rd Act put me from so-so to pick. Felt a little of the Devil Wears Prada vibe at the start, given the author‘s pseudonym I assume she‘s drawing on some real life experience…unfortunately.
