Welcome to Litsy!

Warning: contains child abuse. This started out dark& depressing but also powerful. Merry& Sam move to Sweden with their baby Connor. Sam has inherited a house in the woods. Slowly we learn that he‘s a mysoginist but Merry too is no saint. When Frank, Merry‘s best friend,comes to visit, things get worse not better. Initially I thought this was a feminist take on motherhood & marriage borrowing from Bergman films& Stepford Wives, sadly

Read this through audiobook and I‘m thinking maybe it would‘ve been better if I had the physical book? Lots of skipping around in time and having the book to turn back the pages would‘ve helped me keep up. I did enjoy the plot, characters, and ending. I just didn‘t love it or feel overly impressed by it. It‘d make a great movie!

I read this on one of those stormy September days when the first hints of fall started showing themselves. It was perfect. As for the story itself it would ruin the surprise if I said anything more than I think you should read it.

I quite enjoyed this one!! Now the well-worn saga of “what do I read next??” The first book choice of the year is so important!

Hello my Litsy friends, I took a whole year off whilst I tried to clear my physical TBR ( last years resolution was not to buy/ borrow any books) as you guys are just too much of a bad influence on my book buying habits 😂 But I have missed you deeply and I‘m so glad to be back. I can‘t wait to hear all about what you‘re reading!! Below is my last book of 24/ first if 25 📚

Quick and fast paced, I was hooked from the beginning. Really enjoyed this book, especially the twist and turns in the second half. Will definitely be reading book 2 and 3!

Reportes who were main characters in this story felt interesting. At the beginning they talked about their childhoods and that gave them some depth.

The setting was an abandoded church and that could have been amazing (scary!) setting. Descriptions were non-existent so there is that :( Everythings was over before you were immersed into the story.

I enjoed as long as this lasted but I think this could have offered so much more.

Very twisty thriller, kept me entertained and thinking all day.
Lots of trigger warnings.
