Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve liked Koontz‘s books & the striking cover had me hoping this #KindleUnlimited title‘d be fun, but this listen fell flat to me. I wasn‘t expecting it to be quite so fantastical. Vida lives in a remote property, making her living illegally mining for gemstones & is so in tune with nature she‘s never had so much as a mosquito bite. Her BFF is a half wolf/half shepherd leader of a pack but when a billionaire murders her fiancé, she seeks justice.

Maybe it‘s the cold, maybe it‘s the fact that it‘s dark at 5 (or shortly after), or maybe it‘s the heaviness I feel in this world, but I need to get my reading mojo back because I haven‘t finished one book yet! #currentlyreading #bookwormloading #winterblues

A slowly unfolding mystery with a strong female lead character. A sprinkle of romance, some interesting bad guys, with wolves and dogs and a touch of the supernatural. Enjoyable read, although the first 1/3 of the book feels like Koontz swallowed a thesaurus. The MC lives remotely and I believe he was trying to set that scene, but it was more distracting than helpful. Still recommended, and know the last 2/3s is more normal.

The best part of picking my grandson up from school every day is getting in some reading time while I wait for school to let out.

This turned out to be a surprised ending, didn't have a clue

My upcoming #tbr pile has got some chunksters in it, so I should be concerned…In true bookworm fashion I am just excited instead! 🫠🤪🤯🥹🥰🙏🏻✨📚⛰️

It‘s always a good day when there is a book in my mailbox. I‘m grateful for The Poisoned Pen, an independent bookseller, in Scottsdale, Arizona, who sent me a signed copy of The Forest of Lost Souls by Dean Koontz. The gorgeous end papers are perfect for fall! The dust jacket protects a beautiful hardcover. I look forward to reading this!
