Thank you to NetGalley for a review copy in exchange for an honest review. I was really excited about this one but for me it fell a little flat. It started out so strong, but started to drag a little in the middle. I got lost at times, and felt it was moving a little slow. It picked up a little again towards the end, but still can't bring myself to rate it higher. Please still check this book out as it should not be missed. Again, thank you for a chance to review this book.
| I got a copy of the book in exchange for review from a goodreads giveaway. Thank you very much for a chance to review this book. This was an amazing read. It's full of mystery, and twists. It's very dark, and fun. I never guessed the ending, and loved every single bit of it. Go, and read this book as soon as you can. |
I love true crime, and cold cases are even better.
Paul Holes memoir of investigating the Golden State Killer was amazingly written. I couldn't put it down. As haunting as the case is, you still get drawn deep into it. So many times I felt like I was right there with him right with the case. It's very scary to know you never know who could be a killer, they're hiding in plain sight. The monsters under the bed really are real. Only they're not under the bed. They're your next door neighbor.
The Golden State Killer was able to hide so long,and that's scary to think about how people can get away with haunting crimes. Thanks to Paul's work on the case along with DNA analysis, and help from Michelle McNamara (who also has a book on the Golden State Killer 'I'll Be Gone In The Dark' ) He was able to be caught.
I'm very glad I was able to read this, and if you love true crime I really think you'll enjoy this.
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House Del Rey Publishing for this ebook review copy.
This is my first read by Kiersten White.
I read the synopsis of this. It sounded so so good, don't get me wrong I did like this book, but I didn't love it. The idea of an abandoned amusement park, and a game of childhood hide and seek really drags you in.
So many times I was left hidden myself. I felt lost. By the end I was still almost wanting more. A little more of everything.
I do really love the cover for this book. Seeing it on Goodreads,and other online sources in full color is nice. (you don't get that with e-ink). So I know in person it will be extra beautiful.
I love the creepy mustardy yellow is. The black and red viny creepiness of the park. I feel it all just fits.
In all I give it 3 stars because I did enjoy it, I was thrilled just not completely to my expectations. If thr author writes another horror/thriller novel in the future, yes I'll still give it a chance.
Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for a review copy.
I really enjoyed this book. I was a read page turner. I love the mystery of each chapter. The chapters are quick too, and you see many characters perspectives which I also enjoyed in this novel. It really worked well. It makes you question. What would you do if you found bodies buried in your garden?
That's exactly what happens when Saffy and Tom move into a little house and start renovating.
I highly recommend this book if you like thrillers,and or mystery. Claire Douglas is an amazing story teller, and you will not be disappointed with this book.
| First, I love letter writing. I penpal all the time. Writing letters is a wonderful way to make friends and communicate, plus it's fun. This book has lots of info on the history of letters to stamps, to even how to write some types of letters. A wonderful read for anyone who likes to write letters, or is interested in the history of them. |
