I don't know, the writing really didn't work for me. I can't explain why.

This could've been interesting, but the writing just didn't do it for me.

I finally finished this one. It was long, I wasn't really into it. In the future this generation of teens are always plugged in. And then something goes wrong. Fulfilled my readathons. #ReadAway24 #31by31Readathon #CreepyCatsAndDevelDogsReadathon #PumpkabooHuntSize MediumSize 423 pages

This should have been a page-turner - who doesn't want to read about crimes taking place in the heart of Hollywood amongst the rich & famous? Each chapter usually started off well but quickly became bogged down as there was just too much detail about every aspect of anyone who appeared in the story. Sometimes less is more.

OutsmartYourShelf I did enjoy some parts though. The most interesting story related to Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin & I\'m not talking about the fight at the Polo Lounge. I loved the story about Sinatra finding out that Dean Martin had secretly called the police on his own party as he wanted them all to clear off home! Hilarious. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Post Hill Press, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

August 2024 Book #3

The month of August was not a good reading month for me in terms of how many books I enjoyed. Another unpopular opinion. I just couldn‘t with this book. It was interesting at the beginning but I found it so boring. I really struggled, some parts I care but most of the time not. Sorry for fans of this book. I have two other books by this author that I will try. 2.5⭐️⬇️

Gissy I felt with this book the same way I felt with The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow😳In my opinion too unnecessarily descriptive, dragging the story but at the same time an interesting story🤷🏽‍♀️ 2w
Ruthiella This one is super slow. I say that as a huge Sarah Waters fan. More fast paced are Fingersmith and her debut 2w

5feet.of.fury I bailed on this one, such slow pacing 2w
Gissy @Ruthiella I own Fingersmith and The Little Stranger which has low rating in GR but the premise sounds interesting. I want to watch the adaption but after I read the book. 2w
Gissy @5feet.of.fury I was almost on that thought, it was a torture😖 2w

July 2024 Book #9 last book read this month

Last book in Illumbe trilogy. Each book is developed in Illumbe but they are not direct sequence. In this book the story is about Nerea Arruti, an investigator. She maintained a secret lover, an accident occurred and everything turns complicated with the presence of a gang of criminals. Was her lover related with this gang? ⬇️

Gissy I liked the action, the twists but I didn‘t like the ending. I saw that ending so male opportunistic, manipulative leaving the protagonist like she is co dependent to this man. But is my interpretation because this novel has high rating. But no way I will be happy with that ending🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️
I will rate the trilogy 3.5/3.75 ⭐️As a whole

For the finale of a trilogy this was rather lackluster. The loose ends that need tying up were so straight forward that it felt like a lot of useless descriptive writing of meaningless things was used to pad page count.
