Welcome to Litsy!

Oops. I was searching for something else at the library (don‘t remember what) and this came up in the search results. I thought it sounded like fun so I put it on hold. Today I took it out to start reading and noticed the “author of” a book with a suspiciously similar name on the cover. Sure enough, this is book 2 in a series. Why don‘t they just say that in the cover/subtitle? 🙄 Thankfully my library does have book 1 so I have it on hold now!

I wanted to love this book. But I just didn‘t. I didn‘t hate it. But it was just meh. There were parts where the plot drug on and was repetitive. How many times does she have to have the same conversation with her brother-in-law? She wasn‘t as strong of a main character as she could have been. Just meh.

I couldn‘t with this book. Maybe a physical edition would be fine, but the audio was a no go. I got less than 30 minutes in and I couldn‘t stand the narrator or the way the story was being told.

Up next.

This book, on audio, consumed most of the last couple days for me. Rotating between the victims, readers begin to feel as if you know them and their motivations for selling themselves until it is too late. Now to Netflix and compare.

Starting ch29 in Broken Ground #audible #coldcase
Just Epilogue left to read in The Beach at Summerly#beach #LongIsland #classism #spys

I plan to read the tagged book this month, and I‘m stretching the #titlesandtunes #islandvibes theme to include the island of Ireland. And if your book is set in Dublin, you kind of have to pick a U2 song, right? “I Still Haven‘t Found What I‘m Looking For” seemed like a great song title to accompany a mystery. 😂

Starting this one during the #awesomeapril readathon day two! Susanna Kearsley is one of my favorite authors. Her books are all dual timeline with a romantic bent. She is a master at weaving historical and current plots together.

I can‘t wait to see if this one is as good as the rest!

This book has been compared to Tana French mysteries, which caught my attention. The only similarity is that it takes place in Ireland. I found it slow at the start, I ended up skimming through it and was never that interested. I only finished it because I'd already given up on two previous books.

I won this book from Goodreads so thanks but I just couldn't love it at all. I only enjoyed the parts about the shipwreck, the 4 guys and their families but this book had so much unnecessary fillers, it had me skimming through most of it. I honestly hate giving a low review especially when you can tell a author done her research but that's what they ask for🤷‍♀️
