In the early '60s, in a seemingly more "innocent" time, a group of teenagers were lured into a supposedly haunted house. The place on Sycamore Lane has a morbid history, but that's just hearsay and rumor, isn't it?

An AI twist on Frankenstein.
Nothing prepared me for the final twist in this horror story.

Considering this was supposed to be a horror, I found it not scary at all.
Had to really push myself to finish it.

This was a brilliant read.

A bit predictable. It's an easy read if you don't want anything too heavy.

This book looks at famous people and discusses whether you can still appreciate their work even though they have done bad things in their lives.

I could take or leave this book. I much preferred The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo to this one.

👎

Started well, but then there were way too many twists and turns for me. Almost gave up on it.

😊

To 8 year old Bela, her family is her world. There's mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. But there is also other mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day:Can I go inside your heart ?

This book was such a nostalgic read for me. It reminds me of being a little girl and reading all of this series.

It's a story of a witch who still haunts a town after her death more than 300 years ago. Everyone who lives there can never leave.

This was a really sweet romance book.

Book two in the series.

The best way I can describe this book is to say it's like Scooby Doo for grownups.

This book is not for the faint-hearted. Its descriptions are quite graphic. It is a story of a mother and daughter who are both cannibals. They live in the middle of nowhere and prey on vulnerable walkers and people who are lost.
They invite Eden into their home with devastating consequences.

This was like no other book I've read before. It's great escapism, and yes, I have already downloaded the next book in the series.

It's a gothic ghost story with a great twist at the end.

Book two in the Bridgerton series.

Book one in the Bridgerton series.

This was a dark and depressing story of a narcissistic mother.
