Kill For Me Kill For You | Steve Cavanagh

so-so

Two women traumatized by violent loss meet up in a trauma group, then decide maybe they can help each other. This was an enjoyable enough thriller to listen to, but most of the twists seemed very obvious and the big one at the end was unconvincing.

ShyBookOwl I immediately get Strangers on a Trian vibes (which is my fave Hitchcock movie). Maybe I should check it out! 2h

Hooked_on_books @ShyBookOwl That story is repeatedly referenced here, and not subtly! 1h

1. Let‘s see… 2 houses full and a storage cage. I think there may even be some boxes at my parent‘s storage container. More than I‘ll read before I kark it. 2. The tagged book kept me up at night especially as I have been stalked myself. I listened to it in the recent school holidays while cleaning the house or out for a walk. It made washing up way more entertaining. I plan on reading her next book as soon as I can get my hands on it.

TheSpineView That's a lot of books! Thanks for playing 4h

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls | Grady Hendrix

pick

3.5⭐Mostly A Pick but also So-So.
•This started great, and I was fully invested, but eventually, the witchcraft elements got a bit out of hand, which I feel is typical for Hendrix. It got to the point that I couldn‘t follow what was going on. I don‘t think the narration did this issue any favors, either. Overall, for me, it dragged something fierce.
•The narration for the birthing sections was atrocious to listen to.
⬇️⬇️⬇️

AudiobookingWithLeah •Seriously, I was laughing, and I don't think it was supposed to be funny. Leslie Howard‘s narration doesn‘t usually work for me, and she does the majority of the book. Should‘ve gone with Hillary Huber instead for the main narrator, as it was, all she did was chapter headings. And I'm not sure what sections Sara Morsey performed. (edited) 5h

In a Dark, Dark Wood | Ruth Ware

I sort of pictured Nina as someone similiar to Shelley Conn as Indira Shetty from Gen V.

3/5⭐️ I was able to call the big twist! I thought it was good but not up to the hype.

1) roughly 800 books, I guess. My kids probably have about 600 books together. 🫣🫣

2) phew, difficult to choose. Quite a few good books.

TheSpineView I was afraid to do an actual count.🤪 Thanks for playing 10h

julesG @TheSpineView I guesstimated. How many books on a shelf x the amount of shelves. Then rounded up; some shelves are not only double stacked but have some books crammed on top too. 🫣🫣 9h

Bookwormjillk I liked this more when I read it as a teen I think. As an adult I thought it was too long and SK was a bit too much with some of the sidebars. It read very late 70‘s early 80‘s to me. Still King do readable but not a favorite. 10h

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 💯 could have been a short story! 9h

JenlovesJT47 I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the movie adaptation! It is one long existential crisis that fills you with dread. 9h

AllDebooks I did not like this. I found it repetitive and overlong. It certainly was tense and horrifying. I agree, @BarkingMadRead it would be better as a concise short story. 9h

5feet.of.fury I didn‘t like it either. Weird side note though, there was a 20 mile race that went from Kittery Maine to Salisbury Massachusetts and goes through the part of Rt1 NH that they were on at one point. I was there once also trying to beat an aggressive time cut off 7h
