There's a lot of conflicting reviews about this one. But I quite enjoyed it.
Even with the slow start and Grady being a sulky, self-absorbed man-child.
The suspense and mystery of the Isle of Amberley kept me intrigued. It felt like a character on its own, with the residents being its moving parts.
And the twists.
I did not see it coming... at all.

Sister in Law: Fighting for Justice in a System Designed by Men | Harriet Wistrich

pick

#wpnf25

This was very interesting, but it will make you angry at some of the ways victims and their families have been treated by the UK justice system. It's very up-to-date as well. For example, Wayne Couzens is mentioned. Next post will be triggers, as there are quite a few.

Would work for #52bookclub25 #redheadedcharacter as well, but I ⬇️

jenniferw88 want my character to have a more active role in the story, so I'm not using it for this prompt. 2w

julesG The book is non-fiction. Why would you use a non-fiction for the red-head prompt? 2w

jenniferw88 @julesG There's 2 real-life people mentioned in it with red hair! It's a very weak stretch, but if you were worried about the prompt, then you could possibly count it. (I'm hoping to use Demon Copperhead for that one though) 2w

julesG I'm not worried. I completed the prompt already (with 3 backup books). 2w

Why do I do this to myself?
I'm not a Romance person, I hate the tropes and can tell from the first chapter who the love interest will be.
But still once a year I try a Romance novel.
So please know that it's not the book reflected in my rating, but my personal feelings towards Romances in general.
I should just stop torturing myself.

AnnCrystal Discovering that same problem with Christmas reads...I'm not a romance nor drama reader. I will watch these genres in movies, yet not really books 📚🤔💝. 2w

Kristin_Reads I‘m the same too! 🙋‍♀️ 2w

Enchanted_Bibliophile @AnnCrystal Same, I love nothing better than a Rom-Com and Christmas themed movies, but reading them just drives me nuts 2w

Texreader 🤣🤣 2w

Ruthiella 100% the same. I can watch a rom com, no problem. But I dislike romance as a literary genre. A book that has a romantic element in it along with other plot elements, I can do . But straight up romance? No thank you . 🙂‍↔️ 2w

The Bell Jar | Sylvia Plath

pick

I felt so drained after finishing this book I couldn't even begin to think how to review it.

I really enjoyed Plath's writing, its lyrical, captivating, and unique. I'll be on the lookout for her poetry.

Enchanted_Bibliophile I only realised that this book is semi-autobiographical after the fact, and I think that was the part that threw me. It's really dark and heart-rending and to think it's only part fictional... I don't want to go there again.

I want to read it again, but I need time. 3w

Mister B. Gone | Clive Barker

I was really curious and excited about this book and I hate to say that it is very disappointing. I wish there we more creative ideas and the book lived up to it's premise which is releasing a demon upon reading it. Just for the novelty of the premise it was worth reading it for me. however, it really underdelivers and there isn't much going for it.
