Welcome to Litsy!

An intense and terrifying read.
It‘s Summer in the book, but this gloomy winter picture accutately sums up the mood of the book.

Overall I enjoyed reading The Memory Wood - but I have to admit to needing to go back and reread some parts. My poor brain got somewhat confused at times but there was so much going on and changing between characters that I think that is understandable. Or maybe I‘m getting old lol. Anyway it has suspense, mystery and all the good things a thriller needs so a pick from me.

Got some new books today!! I have already read Hollywood Park but I didn‘t have a finished copy. I‘m just so excited! It‘s been a long time since a box of books arrived! #bookhigh #newbooks #booksaremydrug

Wasn't a fan of this book. It was clumsy, disjointed and without depth. The story could've been decent if it had been edited. The 'twist' was convoluted & overly difficult. Elissa's character was decent but didn't go anywhere. Police woman storyline was pointless and as Amy in Big Bang said about Indiana Jones without her the outcome of the book would be the same. A quick read that I couldn't empathise with and didn't get lost in. Disappointing.

Not sure what my thoughts are so far on my newest read..

The story starts off dramatically and it only eases slightly before picking up again. It twists as it develops. One minute you think you know what's going on then bang another twist is thrown at you. Some I predicted but others took me completely by surprise which is always good. I found Mairead's personal story a hard undercurrent that I wanted to have a happy ending. The ending was so well written and finished the story brilliantly #Netgalley 5*

Told from 3 viewpoints this is more than your run of the mill crime drama. A clever twist turns it into something else, but I feel the ending went on a little too long. 4🌟
