Hooked_on_books
Society of Lies: A Novel | Lauren Ling Brown

Mehso-so

This one started well, with Ivy League secret societies, racism, a death, and family strife. And I mostly enjoyed it, though it is at times unclear which sister is talking. But by the end, there‘s way too much going on and it just devolves into silliness, such that I almost panned it.

GingerAntics I‘ve got this ready to go, but I‘ve been hesitating. I think I‘m going to put it off now. 1w
Hooked_on_books @GingerAntics A reasonable choice, though there are some people enjoying it. Sometimes when other people find a book a mess I enjoy it anyway. Bit of a toss up, I think. 1w
GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books I get that. That‘s happened to me, too. I‘m just not sure if I‘m feeling it right now. 1w

I‘m going to say this is going to be hard to beat for my best read of the month. I loved it. I devoured the story! A slightly different take on vampires but pretty damn good.

I wanted to love this after how much I adored Such Sharp Teeth, but I did not. Sloane is so wishywashy, her best friend Naomi is a frustrating hot mess but I would have liked the book better if it followed her. I didn‘t care about the romance subplot with probably-not-dracula. There‘s no metaphor here, the beginning had Sloane reflecting on time slipping & her obsession with aging but that falls away as the action starts. I didn‘t get it. 🧛🏻‍♀️

I tend to love and very quickly devour Rachel Harrison's feminist horror, and this book was no exception! I read most of it in one sitting.

This particular story revolves around themes of love, friendship, identity, and self-determination, and is, as always, steeped in Harrison's signature wit and easy to identify with characters.

This one might vie with Such Sharp Teeth as my favorite of her books!

This book has everything...romance, comedy, horror, vampire lore , and female empowerment.....problem is none of them are done well.
I know this author has some die hard fans, but the romance flat , the comedy bland, the horror meh, the vampire lore is lacking & the female empowerment a cliched trope. Also, the story is boring, some scenes are headscratchers the main characters are unlikable I don't even remember there being a plot

4✨ It started out pretty slow, but man when it got going! There is a lot of detailed gore, young vampires that can‘t control themselves, and old vampires that we are not super clear on their motives. There was moments where is was unhappy with our mains decisions, but when you are so thirsty I guess thinking straight is on the back burner. #FableBuddyRead @Littlewolf1
