I am really having a hard time putting into words on how much I enjoyed this story. Josie was a very relatable character and I really could see myself in her. From her not wanting to leave the house to her mental issues. There are days I don't want to leave the house and deal with people.. I really don't know how much I can say without spoiling it. I don't know if this was Tiffany Meuret intent but I felt like this was showing how dark and alone mental illness can make you feel. Like the vines closing in on you in your brain. I will be buying a physical copy of this book once it comes out, I can see myself rereading this over and over again. I will also recommend this book to all my friends and family. Thank you Black Spot Books, , Netgalley and Tiffany Meuret letting read and review this book.

I truly liked this book even with all the science in it, Neil Bradbury wrote it perfectly for the layman. It was actually the science that I really like about it. I knew some but Neil Bradbury explained it in a way that I could understand. You could tell that Neil Bradbury knew his stuff and dare I say enjoyed talking about poisons. I also liked that he wrote about how the poisons were used by the killers. I will be reading more from Neil Bradbury and recommend this to all my science and true crime friends. Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin's Press and Neil Bradbury, Ph.D. for letting me read and review this book.

I can understand the MC s Victoria Amberwood need for revenge for what happened to her family, I have felt like her the past couple of years. for something that has happened to my own family. Unlike her I have the justice system to act out my revenge.
I finished this in one day then I went start to download the other book in this series and all her other books. I feel in love with her writing from the start. It also had me hooked from chapter one and I couldn't put it down. I will be recommended to everyone that I know loves romance, paranormal, witches and of course from enemies to friends to lovers.
I want to think Netgalley, Rebecca L. Garcia, and the publisher Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for letting read and review this book.

I don't know I took so long to read this because I absolutely loved this book. I loved Lia Geiger and how she was with her daughter Hayley. It remined me of the relationship I have with my mom and I did enjoy reading about it. Don't get me started how her knitting club and how much I enjoyed their friendship. I didn't guess at all who the killer was or any of the twist which that made me enjoy the book even more. I have already told my mom she really needs to pick up the book ASAP. I want to thank Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for letting me read and review the book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

I don't know how to put into words how much I loved this book and I read it at the perfect time in my left. This book had me crying and laughing out loud. Hugo's grandad Nelson has to be one of the best characters ever and don't get me started with how much I loved Mai. I loved how much they helped Wallace grow as a character just as much as Hugo did. T,J. Klune made me feel so much with this book and I need that. I will be picking their other books ASAP. Thank you T.J. Klune, Tor Books and Netgalley for letting read and review this book.

It was creepy and uncomfortable and I absolutely loved it. I listened to the audio as I followed along in the physical book. The narrator did great with all the characters especially one of the side characters that was a drunk, he nailed it. Dan Simmons writing kept me hooked and it flowed really nicely without it being info dumpy. I do have to say there are some trigger warnings for animals deaths, you might have to look up other TW before reading the book. It was a good coming of age horror book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves horror and coming of age books. Well I will be recommending this book to all my friends and family. This reads like a stand alone book and you really don't have to read the others in this 'series' but from what others have said I would definitely read the others books. Which that is what I will be doing ASAP.

This book had me hooked from page one and I couldn't stop, but I had to cause you know sleep lol. I have never really enjoyed Amish books but this one change my mind. I might have to try more and I will definitely be reading more from Linda Castillo, plus the rest of this series. As this being the 13th book in the series, I wasn't confused and still understood what was going on. To me it read more like a standalone and could read without reading the rest. I want to think Linda Castillo and Minotaur Books for letting read and review this book. I want also think Tandem Collective Global for hosting a readalong over on Instgram, I had so much fun.

I quite enjoyed this book and the characters, but there were parts that kind of dragged on. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves horror and it had great twist which it awesome. Thank Dalton Primeaux for letting me read and review this book.

I had a little trouble getting into the book at first but as soon as I did, I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed their house of night series and that is why I picked this book up. There were times the twins did get on my nerves but I feel like that was the point. I switched back and fourth from the audio and ebook which I loved. I really enjoyed the audio book as well and the narrator kept me focus. I want to thank Netgalley and St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books for letting me read and review this book.
