Welcome to Litsy!

This is my 2nd Darcy Coates, both have been quick & creepy reads, but I still don‘t know if her writing is for me. It‘s kind of Simone St James meets Goosebumps.

The creepiness was here, but with no clear theme or lesson learned I ultimately think it fell flat.

…not as strong as the first book IMO, but it‘s tough being book 2 in a trilogy. There was more action, but some seemed random, as did the “science” which grew more far fetched.
We are set up plot-wise for an interesting finale.

This is a spin off from another series. I haven‘t read it and I didn‘t think I missed much. It‘s a mash up of ghosts, romance, save this failing business, and surprise grandchild.

All of the characters were awkward and adorable. I really hope this develops into a series as there were some interesting ideas and plots that weren‘t fully developed in the book.

I was expecting a basic police procedural, but this was really character driven & so twisty!
A celebrity responsible for building a luxury vacation commune on the English side of the lake, exploiting & disrupting the local economy of the Welsh community on the other side… & generally terrible person… turns up dead after a New Years Eve party.

Finally got around to my Carmilla re-read. Gets me into the autumnal feels

Today has been a shit show with buses being late, clients cancelling and generally being shitty. I was in the right mood for paranormal silliness.

#HauntedShelf #Flerken

I stayed up quite late last night reading this 😅

I loved this, I actually preferred this to Legends & Lattes. Restoring a failing bookshop, creating a sense of community and fighting a necromancer are just more my thing.

This had way more plot. The book recommendations given to Viv matched what was going on in the story which I loved.
