My December #Roll100 picks:
#73 Any Memoir/Biography: Sure, I‘ll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford
#58 Any ARC: First Sign of Danger by Kelley Armstrong
#26 Any Backlist: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
I‘m most excited about my ARC of First Sign of Danger, the next book in her Haven‘s Rock series.
pickA beautiful gothic novel that begins in Spain in 1532. And it‘s about vampires. Not like Dracula, but stunning beings who search for something more. An epic story that goes past 500 pages and makes you feel everything. I‘ve been waiting for VES to give us something akin to Addie LaRue and she‘s finally done it!!! Book #73 in 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI get far too invested in Kelley Armatrong's characters. But I love it. Off to read the next story in the series. #73-2024
pickOh heck yes, this book takes place in Leavenworth, KS and that where I was when I started it! I was pulled in immediately and enjoyed the wild ride. Plenty of interesting characters and good action. Told from multiple POV‘s and just a darn good mystery thriller. Book #73 in 2024
pickIf you‘ve read the synopsis, then you pretty much know what the book is about. The first half was pretty predictable, but the second half was deeper than expected. I thought this was going to be a downer but ended up really liking it. Surprised by the LGBTQ+ tie in and loved how it was done!! Book #73 in 2023
pickBook #73
4/5
Another good read by Hawkins, though I was a bit disappointed by the lack of actual horror as mentioned in the synopsis - maybe I'm just too desensitized by watching true crime documentaries and reading thrillers, but the murders in the "murder house" didn't really seem all that horrific or murder-y. Otherwise, still an anjoyable read.
pickIt took me a minute to get into this one, but I‘m glad I stuck it out. Two murders ten years apart, maybe more, a town that feels left behind-and slighted, and a boy struggling with his view of the world from where he stands…. It was hard to understand the connection between the three narrators at first, maybe something was lost in translation. But the ending was fantastic and the suspense was just right! Book #73 in 2022
