The Staircase in the Woods

Chuck Wendig

I hate this. I hate the characters. I hate the way this is written. Everybody has the personality of an obnoxious 15 year old. The back and forth between timelines kills the momentum the current event gets. Almost halfway through and nothing creepy enough has happened. I'm just over it.

Matriarch: A Memoir

Tina Knowles

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I'm sorry, Ms. Tina. I gave it my very best but I'm ultimately bored with this memoir. I don't think the writing style is for me in this cade. I've read a few memoirs that throughly entertained me, even through the hard to stomach bits. Tina's prose is as sultry and slow as the way she speaks and the Southern culture she comes from. 

One thing's for certain, she undoubtedly sets the tone for future events in her life. She's always been who she was, even at a young age, and she makes that clear. What I did read was intriguing enough at some parts, I'm just not absorbed enough to slog through any longer.

A Killing Cold

Yeah. I don't know what happened. I started to pick up on the twist and I didn't like where the book was heading. After a while I didn't even know what was going on and I didn't care to figure it out

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

I gave it my best but I can't get into this to save my life. Felt like I was thrown into the second book of a series and it just never recovered for me. I don't care about what's happening at all. The concept is good, I don't mind the gore and other trigger warnings, but the execution is... Not good here.

Well, that's disappointing. I couldn't get into this at all.
