All of Us Murderers | KJ Charles
post image

#WhereAreYouMonday @Cupcake12

Just started the #ARC which is set in a very Gothic manor house in Dartmoor.

Pub Day is 7th October 2025

#NetGalley #MountARC

Blurb ⬇️

julesG ALL OF US MURDERERS is a wicked gothic drama that follows two ex-lovers trapped in a house dripping in fear, paranoia, and possibly something far darker. Worthy of fall reading lists for its spook factor and top of list for any romance readers who can handle a 🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice level. 2w
rubyslippersreads Love the vintage Gothic paperback cover! 2w
julesG @rubyslippersreads it's perfect 2w

CarolynM I‘m looking forward to this, but saving it for when I need a treat😊 2w
julesG @CarolynM were you lucky to snag an ARC too? 2w
CarolynM My bad, it‘s showing on my Apple Books app but when I look closely I see it‘s only there as a pre-order ☹️ Lucky I have Copper Script for a treat instead😆 2w
julesG @CarolynM That happens. I'll read Copper Script after All of us Murderers. 2w

Pub Day was 20 May 2025

Four people travel back in time to relive an important memory. When they are stuck in the past after their allotted hour has run out, they wonder whether they might be able to stay in the past and change the events that made them come back. Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️

julesG What will happen if each of them tries to change the past?

The book made me turn the pages faster than I expected to. First I needed to find out what had happened on that specific night, then I needed to find out whether they could change the outcome. It's a story about grief and regret, but also about hope and forgiveness.

I enjoyed that both MCs were lawyers in their thirties. Their backstories, dialogue, struggles, and misunderstandings felt real. What I loved the most though was Charles' POV. It's clear early on that he is neurodiverse, for example, he seems to come across as robotic at times and has trouble reading people's emotions. This is reflected in the way his chapters are written, ⬇️

julesG they show the scenes as Charles sees them, no excess emotions, little to no adjectives, raw dialogue. I loved it! I want to see more neurodiverse POV like his in (romance) novels. 3w

The Listeners: A Novel | Maggie Stiefvater

Mehso-so

Although I liked seeing this time period from a non-European perspective and in a non-EU setting, I never really got into the story. Maybe it was the slower pace, maybe it was the magical realism element that I wish had either been left out entirely, or had been more "fleshed out". Or maybe, having read Stiefvater's YA work, I had too high expectations.

Manic Pixie Dream Earl | Jenny Holiday

Another September. Another Earls' Trip. This time the three gentlemen are off to visit Brighton for a fortnight of being together, talking, sightseeing, maybe some sea bathing. Like the last Earls' Trip, things do not go completely according to plan, when Effie meets his pen pal Miss Juliana Evans.

Effie and Juliana have had a longstanding epistolary relationship. They both have feelings for each other. Yet, a happy ending for them doesn't ⬇️

julesG seem to be possible, there seem to be too many insurmountable obstacles; starting with Effie's gender and not ending with an age gap.

It takes the protagonists some time to work out how a happily ever after might work. This process feels natural; they don't rush, they weigh the options, they seek the help of friends and family, they listen to their instincts.

julesG I like the slower pace of the novel and the friendship between Simon, Effie and Archie, which turned into a found family which supports its members. Since the earls have already planned next year's Earls' Trip, I am looking forward to reading about how nerdy Simon is going to woo the woman of his dreams. 1mo
peanutnine Looking forward to this one! Effie was my favorite from book one 1mo

Serial Killer Games | Kate Posey

Surprised, but in a good way.

Loved the humour, the serial killer vibes and discussions, the two social weirdos finding each other; the secondary characters were fleshed out, and there were a couple of twists I actually did not see coming.

#NetGalley #ARC #MountARC

Dunk It sounds pretty good. Is it more of serious tone or comedic? 2mo
julesG @Dunk a bit of both - some tough backstory, a current serial killer, but also good banter 2mo

It's been some time since I read a book that pulled me into the story so much that I forgot I was reading about fictional characters. Yes, sure, it's unlikely I'll meet a speaking fox in my life and there might not be real magic out there, but all the characters felt very real. Believable backstories, believable problems and struggles.

I want to visit Batty Hole Inn and hug all of them.

I was lucky to get an #audiobook ARC for the 12th Lady Hardcastle Mystery, Pub Day 6th May.

Do I read the books for the cosy mystery? No. I'm here for all the characters and the banter, especially between Maid Florence Armstrong and Lady Hardcastle. I was absolutely not disappointed. Loved every minute of the story and the audiobook!
