I’m still sitting here wondering what the heck I just read. It made a bit more sense once I read the author’s note. The note does warn you on the upcoming spoilers so I’ll tip toe around the “spoilers” as well to avoid ruining the critical twist in the book. After reading the author’s note everything makes

A solid three star book. It was messy, written ‘okay’ and the story line was predictable. I did enjoy diving into the Sri Lanka world and a typical thriller written in a different setting that you don’t get to experience often. The truth though, there isn’t anything outstandingly impressive with the story or writing. Nothing

My only note while reading was ‘struggling to get into the characters’. Now as I’m finished reading the book, I will say I could change that to, ‘struggled to care about the characters’. The book is very underwhelming. I’m sorry to harp on these style of books so much, but if you are going to

To sum it all up on the first line, this book was’meh’. I liked what they tried to do here, but just didn’t have any spunk that made me ‘get into the story’. The storyline, the subject matter, the ‘thrill’ didn’t come together to make me want to read it. I honestly started dreading having

A great opening scene that sucked me in right away. I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book but when I finished it, I wasn’t sure if I was really expecting … that. This is gory. VERY gory. Like stomach turning gory. It was hard to read after awhile and when

I’m slowly making my way through some classics that I thought were necessary and this book popped up. I heard this was the inspiration for ‘Jurassic Park’. Am I wrong about that? Anywho – big Jurassic Park fan, so I thought… obviously I have to read the book. Overall, this book was lacking for

This is one of those books that I really wanted to like. I purchased it knowing that this book would be exciting, I was almost cocky about it. I loved the cover, I loved the premise of the book, and I love Baba Yaga. So, of course I went into this book with high hopes.

This fell into my ‘must read’ books and so I scooped it up without really thinking. I’ve noticed it compared to Where the Crawdads Sing quite often and the only thing this has in common is it’s in the southern swamps. Otherwise, I’d say I’m quite offended others are comparing the two. I would place this in the ‘don’t

I always go into a Hilderbrand book with anopen mind but realistic that I might not enjoy it. It’s a 50/50 chance for me. I started out with a big eye roll when I realized we were going into the … ‘super natural’. My overall feeling is this book is boring and drawn out to give
