Phew. Every year I try read the longest book on my TBR. And I have conquered it this year! That was epic. Very similar to The Stand. At times gruesome and horrific, at times touching and hopeful.

3.5 stars

4.5 stars. That was a twisty thriller. Didn't see it coming.

Wow. Devastating, heartbreaking and sometimes weirdly humorous. This was a great read. I have a feeling the story and characters will stick with me for some time.

Strange and unsettling

4.5 stars. That was such fun. Couldn't put it down.

It's been a while since I really enjoyed a YA contemporary romance. But this was just beautiful

Loved the first half of the book - probably even first 3/4ths (4 stars). Last quarter - 2 stars.

Not one of Ms. Christie's best.

3.5 stars.

Disappointing. Probably my least favourite Feeney. There were too many coincidences, and I didn't believe characters' motivations. Bring back Daisy Darker vibes!!

I loved Kindred and was looking forward to reading more by the brilliant Octavia E. Butler. However, this story was definitely not for me. I'm way too squeamish about eugenics, toxic (abusive) relationships and incest. And I HATED Doro!

Wow! I'm still reeling and not exactly sure what happened in the end. This is definitely my favourite Lisa Jewel. I couldn't put to down.

I always have a good time with Grady.

That was dark.. and a little bit icky... but I kind of liked it.

Look, this was a good book, but I'm really glad its over. The vitriol and toxicity of social media in the novel (and let's be honest - in real life) gave me some very real anxiety - thank god I'm a reader and not a writer (haha).

4.5 stars. The impact of this one wasn't as big as Beartown and Us Against You, but the end got me feeling all the feelings again.

Upped star rating from 4 to 5. The story is more powerful the longer I think on it.

4.5 stars. I really did not expect much from this book, but by the end I was sobbing. If you can elicit that sort of emotion from my cold heart then you deserve all the stars.

Urgh! This book has been on my TBR for years. My tastes have certainly changed. No more YA Romance Contemporary for me.

4.5 stars. Is this an important novel? Absolutely not. Is it fun as hell? Fuck yeah! (Although I had to take 0.5 off for the romance (eye roll))

4.5 stars. An engaging and entertaining read with a few twists I didn't see coming.

2.75 stars (rounded up). This was entertaining, but way too many eye-rolling moments to warrant a genuine 3 star.

I knew who the killer was 50% through the book. The protagonist's decisions were just bad and her obsession with horror movies was just overkill (Ha!).

The author tried so hard to be ‘woke' it just got ridiculous. I'm all for inclusion and representation, but it should be organic and natural - not a character lecturing and telling the reader why they have been included. SHOW DON'T TELL!!

3.5 stars. Entertaining and distracting, but nothing unforgettable.
