Welcome to Litsy!

I agree! Too many books out there…

Fav quote of the book: "Being in love is a condition, isn't it? It's like being depressed or being in a cult. You're basically underwater--people can talk to you about life on dry land, but it doesn't really mean anything."

This book was recommended after reading A Teacher by Freida McFadden. Except this one is a 16 year old boy and his teacher. The pseudo main character Sheba may go down as one of the most unlikeable characters of all time. The actual main character is a creepy close 2nd. But it held my interest in its absurdity. I think it's a true story, too, which disturbs me further

So far, I'm confused and intrigued. On page 75. Stay tuned

Today‘s Prompt: COVER WITH OBSCURED FACE

THRILLER - SUSPENSE

The title intrigued me from the start. 

Does it mean not looking back?

Does it mean looking the other way? 

Does it mean keeping your secrets and your past hidden?

So many good books last week to choose from.

There‘s just something about a Jennifer Lynn Barnes book. They pull me in immediately. The Brothers Hawthorne & The Naturals series will be hard to beat on my favorites list but this was a solid read.

This was a solid read. I didn't connect to it as much as I did any of the books in The Naturals series but it was still a decent read with characters that were unsettling real in some instances. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I soft pick - this was an expectations problem. I was lured by the premise of a female artist stumbling across a naked man and using him as a model, only to find out he is a Duke. I expected hijinks and trading for modeling sessions and fun.
This went a lot deeper into PTSD, alcoholism, corruption, mental institutions - especially the last third went to some dark places and I'm not sure the pay-off really got out of them. More painting please!
