so-soWell, I was a little disappointed in this book. The other 3 had been full of suspense and twists, this one not at all. I know Stone has some books based on Autumn Trent, so maybe this was a book to introduce her to Stones' readers. I hope so anyway.
😊 Happy Reading 😊

pickWhen I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).
pickIt almost never happens - actually, I can't think of a series I ever did that - that I go and read the next volume immediately after finishing the first book. But here? I really did not want to part from Nigel and Oscar. It felt like we didn't have enough time together, so I went and got volume two. And love that one too. There's just everything in it I love and need right now. So why wait?
pickI always try to cram at least one nonfiction piece each October, and this one kept with that tradition. This is about Danny Robins, a British comedian and broadcaster, and his research into the paranormal. I listened to a few episodes of his podcast last year and thought I‘d try his book. Will he change your opinion on ghosts and the supernatural? No. But he‘s charming and his enthusiasm on the subject is infectious!
pickI'd still love more depth on Chris and Tina, but just as the first book dug into Nigel's background, this one digs into Oscar, which is a lot of fun too.
I'd forgotten this one doesn't have much about Patricia and what she wants; I'm very curious about that. Looking forward to the third book, which I haven't read before!
I don't usually do seasonal reading, but it's fun to have the reminder/excuse to revisit.
