Welcome to Litsy!

So brave!

Although if they sound anything like foxes, I can't blame him for going into protective mode...

What a great #bookclub pick! This #SpookySeasonRead isn‘t too scary, but maintains a great, tense atmosphere in homage to the titular detective. And while familiarity with Hitchcock‘s films adds to the reading experience, other than a few spoiled plots, not really necessary. The plot holds surprises— though the cast isn‘t particularly sympathetic. Still, it has a cinematic flair of its own & I couldn‘t put it down! Looking forward to discussing!

I think of the me I am inside. In my head, I have been sixteen for nearly ten years. In my head, my hair is still long. I find myself going to sweep it back in moments of stress, but it‘s not there.

“She learned that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it‘s not enough. She learned the only person you could trust, the only person you could truly rely on, was yourself.”

Not my favorite Lapena book, but it is a page turner! I wish the resolution was less ambiguous. Stephanie and Patrick are happily married with newborn twin girls. The babies are colicky and none of them are sleeping well. Enter Erica, someone from Patrick‘s past, who accuses him of killing his first wife ten years ago. Stephanie starts to doubt her husband, and doesn‘t know who to believe.

This story was good, but it could have been a lot better. I didn't trust Sam at all. I was surprised by the twist. I didn't really care for the ending but it could lead to a part 2 if the author cares to do that. If I say more it will ruin it for others. Definitely worth the read.

That was a lot and just okay. I will still read more from this author as I really enjoyed, The Lies I Tell.

I enjoy the early morning darkness. It feels quiet, soothing. I actually do not like “ fall back” time. The sun sets much too early. #coffeeandbooks #10BeforetheEnd
Enjoy your day!
