Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book. Alfred buys an old Victorian manor and turns it into the Hitchcock Hotel and invites his estranged college friends for the weekend. He has plans, and they all have secrets 🖤

11-26-24: My 44th finished book of 2024! Book 3 in the Sisterhood Series. In this story, we finally get to see what Myra, the leader of the sisterhood, has in store for the murderer of her daughter, Barbara. The whole series starts with Barbara‘s death but it isn‘t until book 3 that we meet the man who, with diplomatic immunity went free after mowing Barbara down. Myra gets her revenge and the Sisterhood is there with Charles to make it happen.

11-23-24: My 43rd finished book of 2024! Book 2 of The Sisterhood Series. Myra and Charles have been helping the Sisterhood with payback for crimes committed against the woman in the group. In book 2, we follow the storyline of Julia, a politician‘s wife who has been cheated on and left ill due to her husband‘s philandering. A second mission against an HMO company rounds out the story. The women are ruthless when it comes to getting revenge.

This book had promise but fell a bit short. I didn't hate it, I just didn't connect with the characters. The plot was good. However, it is always about the characters for me and in this book I wasn't feeling it. 3⭐️.

Note: This book is not in the database. It is part of a series so I tagged the first book.

11-17-24: My 42nd finished book of 2024! This is Book@1 in the Sisterhood Series. Myra and Nikki lose the woman most important to them and get no justice for her death. So mayra puts together the Sisterhood. A group of wronged woman who are going to exact their own vengeance. In Book 1, we see Kathryn‘ story of violence and redemption play out. Each novel will follow a different woman‘s story with Myra at the helm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣4️⃣2️⃣

“My darling,” said Valentine, “the count just told us that all human wisdom was contained in these two words: Wait and hope.”

😳 Can one live with revenge or justice, whichever it is?

Entertaining enough of a listen to keep me going. Off to look for the next one in the series, though apparently Eskens doesn‘t refer to it as such.

It was a perfect weekend to start a Readathon. I needed an unplug and reset, so started and finished both of these. Both 5 🌟. Spent about 6 hours reading and it was so lovely. I'd have to count chapters, but probably went over the 36. Thanks for hosting, @MatchlessMarie and Happy (early) Birthday 🎂 🥳 #36by36readathon

I mean how could you miss with this idea? You have all the wonderful Hitchcock thrillers for inspiration. And yet this is one hell of a miss. Six of the most awful “friends” arrive at a Hitchcock themed hotel for a weekend each with secrets so banal I couldn‘t care less about what happened to any of them. Tried way too hard (clumsily btw) clinging to the coattails of a genius filmmaker and his genius wife and fails miserably.

I really like the Hitchcock theme and references in this one, but the characters were rather unlikeable. I always enjoy her writing though!
