This was good! A classic ghost love story with some mystery solving too! I didn‘t understand the ending and that is annoying me! I‘m going to put my issue in the comments with a spoiler alert cover and if someone can explain it to me I‘d be grateful! Otherwise this really keep my attention and was so well written!

This one took me awhile to read because September was busy! I read the first one 5 month ago so the story line was still fresh in my head. This one was a lot more emotional than the first. I still had a hard with the love/fear relationship between Zade and Addie. Close to the end of the book I was already over it. This one has all the triggers and more. It‘s very very graphic and dark. All in all both books laid out a really good story.

Just finished this one on my lunch break. This took to me way too long to read for a 194 page book. I do have to say this would be a good palette cleanser as it is a witty sometimes playful read. I wasn‘t rushing to pick it up because it wasn‘t a story where you have to know what happens next. It‘s written from the thoughts and conversations of a nameless narrator. And the thoughts are all over the place and jump around.

This book was a wild ride! Think if Daisy Jones and The Six was written by Chuck Palahniuk. It was written in interview form which worked really well for story. And it‘s exactly as the title suggests, Lily‘s ex boyfriend is the Antichrist. The story is about the band finally giving an interview about what happened and the literal fight with music and the battle of God and the Devil.

Now I love my 90‘s hip hop but I really love reggae/dancehall. If you get in my car 99% of the time Bob Marleys Tuff Gong Radio will be on! I‘ve loved all things Bob since the early 90‘s and whenever my parents see something they buy it for me. At a tag sale my Dad found this book and bought it for me! What i didn‘t realize is this book was published in 1983 (Bob died in 81) and the author interviewed him and his family for the book!

This one took way too long to read. It wasn‘t as good as the first one. The story took a long time to get going and didn‘t have the build up that the first one did (which maybe it wasn‘t meant to have). I ended up skipping pages at the end just to finish it.
