pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Volume 2 did not disappoint, and I‘m really enjoying all of the characters! Personal favorite now includes the student council president whose goal is to prove that Iruma is human…..by having him translate manga that she can‘t read and secretly loves in the form of “forbidden tomes”. I can‘t wait to see how Iruma‘s journey continues from here.
Just a reminder that May‘s #LosersClub read is #theDeadZone Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about May 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion
pickI've lost count of how many times I've read this book.
The magic and suspense of the story that captivated me so many years ago still does and now I'm ready to find out how this story ends so I'm off to read the next one so I can finally read the last book in the trilogy.
so-soIt was well-written with interesting twists, but the subject matter was a bit gruesome for me. Especially when it‘s meant for young people. I was surprised to find Adopta/Addie was the Shriekers‘ daughter. I was relieved that they didn‘t directly kill her. Cute that Oliver had Resthaven, the Wilkinsons‘ old home, built for them on his grounds. It did end nicely.
so-soThis volume feels like a lot of filler to lead into a new arc, having to do with the Webster siblings.
Not bad setup considering that the last few volumes of Chise being at the college was leading up to this as well as all the new characters but it's starting to feel as a bit distracting from Chise and Elias' and their initial story which honestly I can't remember now.
Hopefully this all ties back in somehow to Chise.

so-soOkay, to get this out of the way... The dog does NOT die!
This book was too dense and too long. The whole book was slow. I thought the sex scenes were pretty ew and the ending was a cop out. The major point the entire plot pivots around was frustrating to me. And it was not at all scary.
However, I was always glad enough to pick it up and keep going, I wanted to know what was going to happen. So I guess I just have to give it a solid Meh rating.
pickIt‘s a slow burn of a book, but honestly. The ending made it worthwhile. I recommend. Although I will knock part of it and say. It needed less of Smoke. He‘s just a bad guy, to be a bad guy. Most of the book he just wastes time on in his own petty world. Made the book feel like a slug fest whenever his chapters would pop up.
