Welcome to Litsy!

Yes, I loved THE BLUE HOUR -- a fine novel reminiscent off Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith.

Not a book I would have ever picked up for myself but my friend sent it to me in a care package. I was intrigued by the premise but felt let down by the end. It became predictable and boring and left the most interesting bits unanswered. A very quick read and always nice to read outside of your usual comfort zones.

The story did pick up toward the end, but it took a long time to get there.

Thank you so much for my lovely books ladies! Such a treat to receive book mail on your birthday! 😊 cheered me up no end! 🥂 😘 @quietlycuriouskate @squirrelbrain @TrishB

Sorry, but no. I only had one day to finally pick something up and read, and I am so disappointed I picked this. The setup seemed good, and then it was just boring from there on out. I also don't like books about trying to solve a husband's disappearance when he was abusive and awful. Like, who cares where he went? I'm glad he's gone, lol. The characters were beyond boring and the twist was so predictable. Very disappointing. 1/5 stars

A soft pick. Enjoyable, taut thriller but predictable.

Did I also make a quick bookstore stop on my lunch break today? YOU BETCHA! 😂💕📚

Let‘s say 3.75 stars. It‘s pretty classic Hawkins - you‘re disoriented to what is happening, who is the good one, who is the bad one, how it will play out. But I think for me it was a bit lacklustre in its ending. Pretty good but maybe just that - good. 👍

This took me way longer to read than I was expecting it to! It felt very long but very twisty at the same time. I enjoyed the short chapters and the alternating perspectives. While I didn‘t see all the shocks coming I did figure out the biggest one pretty easily. It just made sense to me 🤷🏼‍♀️. While not a favorite thriller I did enjoy it enough to definitely read more by the author! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This German thriller was based on a pretty gruesome premise, but it struck me as an original idea, so I tackled this as my first book from this popular German writer. I enjoyed it for the fast-paced plot development and found the shift in following different characters for each chapter pretty engrossing. Thumbs up!
