A totaly unexpected end to a book that was already dark.I always think that going into a book oblivious to the plot and to triggers is the best way for me personally. The shock factor is so much more blunt and hard hitting.I felt an unease through out the book, but I didn’t quite figureContinue reading “The Leftovers”

This felt like an American Pie reunion, 30yrs later! With a dark streak running below the surface! I enjoyed the introduction to the group of friends, lost some interest somewhere in the middle – but when it all came together at the end I saw that every chapter was needed. My eyes watered and aContinue reading “One Last Question”

Review 朗 I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would. I think, once I had it in my head it wasn’t a hard core thriller, and more of a domestic family drama kinda thing – it made the whole experience more enjoyable personally. The crime that is committed right at the beginning isContinue reading “The Lies We Tell”
