I was really intrigued by this, but this story thinks it‘s important to repeat information five or six times in the first few chapters, and that kind of repetition is just irritating.

This premise is just too absurd and I‘m not feeling it. #dnf #hailthebail

Bailedbailed

Young couple Charlie and Eve can‘t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains.

One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.

But, as soon as they enter, strange things start to happen. Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can‘t – or won‘t –

Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality

I think this just isn‘t for me. It‘s probably great if you‘re actively facing a major diagnosis, or a loved one is, but I‘m not finding this terribly helpful. The author is grating on me with comments like the above, because her expertise is absolutely the most useful thing in any situation. She seems like the “friend” who barges in and takes over, regardless of what anyone actually wants.

It was free on kindle unlimited; a reimagining of Peter Pan. It was very dark with icky sex and the MCs were one-dimensional and annoying. I gave up 2/3 of the way-not for me.

Bailed at 25% when it became apparent that there are no swashbuckling lady pirate adventures here, just a below average bodice ripper that happens to be set on a pirate ship.

I had high hopes for this book, but I‘ve DNF‘d about 40% through. The flashbacks and inner monologue of the four main characters keep pulling me out of the story. The murders are so overlooked/unmentioned that I keep forgetting it a “murder mystery”.😢 I quit when I found myself starting to skim.
