pickA slowly unfolding mystery with a strong female lead character. A sprinkle of romance, some interesting bad guys, with wolves and dogs and a touch of the supernatural. Enjoyable read, although the first 1/3 of the book feels like Koontz swallowed a thesaurus. The MC lives remotely and I believe he was trying to set that scene, but it was more distracting than helpful. Still recommended, and know the last 2/3s is more normal.
pickThis story sucks you in quickly and spits you out at the end of the wild ride. The characters are distinctly different, and their backstories are well defined. I guessed a few things and thought I figured out more but was turned around a few times and surprised till the very end.
The best part of picking my grandson up from school every day is getting in some reading time while I wait for school to let out.
so-soJust a bit bonkers. I don‘t think it could decide whether it was a supernatural horror or an everyday thriller 🤷♀️
As an aside- people who buy those big posh houses in the south in the US, do they really just casually say ‘the slave quarters‘ when they remodel them into something else? (E.g a home office). Because this MC did, a lot. I found it very creepy.
So I picked these two up yesterday and thought I posted it but haven‘t so I bought these two at a (kind of k-mart) bi-mart market (it‘s owned by employees not a corporation) cool huh 😊📚
pick17-year-old Persephone (Persey) struggles to live up to her perfect older brother, so when she is the first player to solve a supposedly unsolvable escape room & is invited to take part in the ultimate competition to win millions of dollars, she hesitantly accepts. 8 contestants are flown to Las Vegas to take part in the contest, & tension is high with the prize money at stake. (continued)
pickSolid mystery/thriller that had a few surprises in there even if most of it was somewhat easy to predict. Once I realized what was happening the rest easily fell into place. I still enjoyed the ride, mind you, and thought the challenges faced by the main character were really inventive. Enjoyable read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
It was a perfect weekend to start a Readathon. I needed an unplug and reset, so started and finished both of these. Both 5 🌟. Spent about 6 hours reading and it was so lovely. I'd have to count chapters, but probably went over the 36. Thanks for hosting, @MatchlessMarie and Happy (early) Birthday 🎂 🥳 #36by36readathon
