Welcome to Litsy!

This is my third novel by Young this year. She is now amongst my auto buy authors. She gets the atmosphere just right. Her stories are set in worlds I want to live in, small close knit towns. Nature is an integral charcter.

Currently Reading. I have an ARC of her next book, but realized I haven't read her last.

Meh. I'm ready for this author to go back to writing about pirates.

•This author‘s books are either a hit for me or a near miss…this one falls into the latter. Despite wanting to, I never connected with the characters or the story. I‘m willing to admit it might be a me thing.
•Christine Lakin‘s narration was decent.

This was an interesting mystery-turned-whodunnit tangled web of an abandoned friends group from 20 years prior. I was nearing the end before I considered this author‘s magical elements were left out of the story. Then I had to laugh realizing I didn‘t consider the MC getting little clues from her deceased twin as a magical element.

I bailed on Playworld because i just couldn‘t get into it. Im jumping over to this one and hope to finish it this weekend because i have two more holds to pick up!

Love this author she is a amazing writer the story was amazing!

Adrienne Young is one of my “autobuy” authors, and will remain so, but I couldn‘t help but feel this one was a little pale in comparison to her other two adult titles. While the setting and overall plot were neat, I longed for a stronger lean into the folk magic undertones that made “Spells for Forgetting” so wonderful.

I have read all of Adrienne's adult books so far, and I have absolutely fallen in love with the stories, her writing, and the whimsical lyrical fantasies that she writes. This book started off very slow, I kept having to check to make sure I was correct about Johnny being her brother because it was coming off as romance to me. I wanted more from her and her love interest, I felt like their was more romance between her and her brother.

This review is a conflicted one. I hate to admit I didn't love this one. The plot was good, but I wasn't picking up what was being laid down for me as a reader. I hear the audiobook may have filled in that gap, which makes complete sense because I think this book would be fantastic on screen. It is still a pick vs so-so.
