A woman is having some challenging symptoms and thinks increased exercise might be the key. But then he pedometer watch shows an amount of walking that seems impossible. Moving through the investigation of her own behavior is both interesting and steadily increasing in dread. I did find the ending a bit odd and too abrupt, but overall I liked this one.

A woman wakes up exhausted every morning, limbs aching, with unexplained bruising. She eventually finds out that she‘s sleepwalking. Strange things are happening - cats start to run away from her - and she tries to ascertain what is happening. It‘s a short read, a bit creepy, and one that keeps you hooked. The ending? Yeah, who knows what happened but I have several theories and I‘m okay with that. #offtheshelf #bookspin

Cathythoughts Sounds good. I have a sample on my kindle .. I‘ll try it 👍🏻😁 1mo
CBee This was definitely creepy. Normally I can‘t do sad animal things but, for some reason I could with this book? And after a minute of being mad about the ending, I decided I was okay with it 😂 1mo
Suet624 @CBee I know what you mean about the sad animal thing. She just breezes over it so quickly that it kind of didn‘t sink in as hard as it could‘ve. 1mo
CBee @Suet624 that‘s exactly it! Didn‘t have time to really ponder it before it was over 🤷‍♀️ 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo

An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.

Suet624 This one is in my pile of books just waiting for me to grab it. 3mo
sarahbarnes @Suet624 If it wasn‘t I‘d offer to send you mine. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 3mo

I debated between giving this book a pick or a so-so. It is an extremely quick read and I did enjoy the end and how it brought everything together. I also enjoyed the setting of a wintry, 19th century Iceland. I was a bit confused by all the characters but the end wrapped it up nicely and the pieces all fall into place. I'm glad I read this book but just feel a little underwhelmed by it. Probably won't stick with me, but it was worth the read.

I forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!

AudiobookingWithLeah Yeah, I think I relistened to the end twice. It was definitely disappointing. 4mo

Hmm. So I liked this and I was really invested but after that very unresolved ending, I have SO MANY questions 😂😅🫣 @BarbaraBB I bought this one based on your review so, I‘ve made a new hashtag: #blameitonbarbara 😀😂

julesG Nice # 4mo
CBee @julesG thanks! 😂 4mo
BarbaraBB Lol, that‘s a first, being a # 🤣🤣. But I know what you mean, that‘s ending was so frustrating! 4mo

julesG @BarbaraBB Frustrating yes, but also good. Sometimes an open ending is better than everything wrapped up nicely with a bow. 😉 4mo
BarbaraBB @julesG Yes! That‘s why I loved it too. It left me with all the feelings! 4mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I can think of other times that hashtag would‘ve come in handy! Many books I‘ve read thanks to you 😊 4mo
CBee @julesG the more I think about it, the more I‘m okay with it. At first I was all how dare she end it like that 😂😂 4mo
BarbaraBB What goes around comes around 💕 4mo
CBee @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️♥️ 4mo
