so-so2.5⭐
• horror thriller • psychological suspense • mystery involving kidnapping • theatrics • isolation • the will to survive • single POV
Overall, it's an ambitious idea that may have been beyond the author's reach. That said, I'll give her credit for a truly original kidnapping premise. Like, this was wild AF. I couldn't get into the mediocre writing, and some believability issues compounded the problem.
🎙️Carolyn Jania was okay, but not great.
so-soFirst book of 2026 and it was…fine I guess. Really should have been like 200 pages shorter. I found myself skimming a lot over the more science dense parts. Image of the view from our hotel room in Chula Vista, CA which is our new home for the next 60 days while my husband is here for work!! So looking for any must visit indie bookstores in San Diego!
I feared this would happen, that either Wood or Marsons would be on the list twice. At least this is another series, so it doesn‘t really count, does it? Anyway, one of the best series and authors ever ❤️ #12BooksOf2025
so-soUgh. Not really worth the slog. I loved the idea of this book, but had t realized before now what a horrible writer Dan Brown is. The science was cool, though!

Sitting in my living room, under a blanket, in a recliner, and listening to the audiobook. Hubby is watching football. I‘m feeling very comfy and cozy.

panStarted off pretty interesting, had me gripped for a bit. Then it just went off and became something less exciting and more eye roll inducing. Just felt like a nothing burger book that tried to be a huge conspiracy, but ended up falling flat.
pickBook #6. A new character, a betrayal, a wedding, and a mystery to solve. Plus maybe a bit of info into Fiona‘s murder. Quite a lot going on in this one. Not really a happy ending, more of a ‘this will continue into the next book(s).
pickBook #5 in the series. A bit more like an action movie, a bit unbelievable, but entertaining.
