August 2025 Book #10 love that cover. I found an old secondhand copy not in the best condition but it is hardcover with the original cover 😍

I liked this story but didn‘t love it. I need to confess that not always speculative novels work for me🤷🏽‍♀️I was expecting something else. I didn‘t feel connected with the story because it didn‘t make sense to me why all these voodoo situation which means that I did f love the ending. 3.5/3.7⭐️

Gissy I think the problem here was my taste in this type of genre and not the novel per se. I definitely will read The Reformatory because in general, I liked author‘s writing style. It‘s was me, not the novel😂This copy stays in my home. Too pretty and maybe sometimes I could re-read it

Okay, 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.

It‘s fun to come across a bookshop I‘ve been to in a novel. If you‘re around Oakland, CA, Marcus Books is well worth a visit!

Another great read! I found the beginning to be a bit slow for me, but once I got into it, this book really took off. The mystery, the fantasy elements, and the suspense of what was going to happen next had me roped in. There's a horribly sad scene in here, but I think it was well done. Also, there is a dog in this story. I won't say to much, but he is such a funny and strong dog. If you like books about adventure then this might be for you?
