Welcome to Litsy!

After reading this propulsive page-turner, I‘m now ready for the upcoming apocalypse.

I noticed this book became available on Libby and placed a hold on this auto-read author for me. I was 3/4 of the way through before realizing this was published in 2011. I thought it was a fun action-packed dystopian story. There were some lulls in the plot and that only made me appreciate the evolution of his writing. …And now I don‘t feel so bad about my inability to see the aurora lights so many Americans were able to witness this summer 🤣

#12BooksOf24 My book for #April is this brilliant 1st book in a new series by the author of Rizzoli & Isles. A small fishing town in wintry Maine, a group of retired CIA & a body left on one the ex-agents doorstep. I wish I had half the balls Maggie Bird does! Reminds me a lot of Killers Of A Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn with less snark.

3.5 Stars • The Stillwater Girls by Minka Kent is a psychological suspense novel about two sisters, Wren and Sage, who were raised in isolation in upstate New York. Their secluded life is upended when their mother leaves with their sick younger sister and doesn't return, leading to a series of mysterious and chilling events as they confront the secrets of their upbringing. ⬇️

3.5/5 ⭐️
Will definitely read the sequel next year!

Quote from the father of the kidnapped girl who walks out of the woods alive two years after her abduction. These characters are all flawed, but I‘m feeling for all of them.

Book 6 read September 2024

Definitely not the best story, unrealistic in many situations with annoying characters, but for me was entertaining🤷🏽‍♀️Maybe I was in my dark academia mood😂But not a good story so my pick classification is subjective 🤣

I liked how Sarah ended with her mother and so sad what happened with the person who committed the murder 3⭐️This book has low rating so it will be a so-so or pan for many readers.

4/5 ⭐️
The twist in that book… I‘m still shock. 😨

4/5 ⭐️
Discovered this author and I read 3 or 4 books by her. I really enjoyed it.

Whew… March was a tough one to narrow down for my #12BooksOf2024 (as you can see, it was a month with over 10 five star reads!), but I am going with this re-imagining of Strangers On A Train! I loved it and have thought of it often since finishing it!

Thanks to @Andrew65 for organizing!!
