But ngl had some really good written spice in it

Let the Right One In | John Ajvide Lindqvist

This was a very dark gritty horror. I can‘t say it wasn‘t well done, but I will say I wanted to be done reading it atleast 100 pages before it ended. it was endlessly gory & the bullying Oskar experienced was stomach turning. I‘m not typically squeamish but it got to be ALOT. I love a gross ugly vampire story & the atmospheric mystery surrounding Oskar‘s neighbor delivered for sure.

ShyBookOwl This was my favourite book for years, but I know there's no way I could read it now that I have a son. It's a tough read but soooo powerful. The movie adaptations (Swedish of same title, and American called Let Me In) are more my pace now 😅 2w

5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl I think that might be part of it for me, pregnancy hormones & impending motherhood is making me soft 😅 I have owned the American version on DVD since it came out and have never watched it, and I might never after this 🤣 2w

BookmarkTavern Sounds intense! 2w

ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury 🤣 I promise all the MOST intense stuff has been removed from the American version (and a lot of it from the aswedish one too) 2w

ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury Also, congrats on impending motherhood 🤗 2w

5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl Thank you! 2w

5feet.of.fury @ShyBookOwl I hope they took out the cats 😩 2w

ShyBookOwl @5feet.of.fury lol there is a cat attack scene in the Swedish movie, but I don't think it's in the American one 2w

I love this series. However, I had a bit struggle because till the last 200 pages nothing really important happened and we only got just a tiny bit new information. Than everything happened in the same time. But I loved it and I cannot wait till the third part published.

The Vampyre | John William Polidori

pick

This was pretty good for an early vampire-centric story. You can definitely attribute a lot of the themes and vampire lore to contemporary vampire fiction (attractive vampires, inviting them inside, burning in the sun, etc) I know a lot of it was plagiarized later on by other writers, and in other cases inspired and adapted by others. It is important work, even if it is lacking in a lot of ways.

It suffers a lot from telling and not showing.-

Doppoetry -as well as lacking any character development, any real motivations for the antagonist, and a stilted writing style. 2w

4.25/5 ?????

"You have nothing but me", I said. "And yet, you'd let me go?"
"I have nothing but you,' he murmured. "So I am letting you go."

TheSpineView @PageShifter @Laughterhp @julesG @ShananigansReads @DuckOfDoom @InkedBookworm13 @tdrosebud @CoverToCoverGirl @StayCurious @BooksNBowls @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I think it was high time that there was a change regarding the Chosen. Also, regarding Payne, how can you keep someone locked away? Lots of loose ends here. I know there is more to come with regards to John, Tohr, Qhuin and Blay. Will we start getting to know Payne?

My second time reading this novel this year was even better than the first. I‘ve been on a mission to reread this entire series to prepare for the newest release. I cannot talk highly enough about The Crowns of Nyaxia series!!! #holidaybookdragons #wintergames2024
