Great second book

Revisado: 02-28-25

The narrator does a spectacular job bringing Whitney's story to life. The home series is the perfect mix of hallmark, spice, and HEA.

Must read indigenous thriller

Revisado: 11-15-24

I love a good thriller
I love indigenous literature
This book speaks on an incredibly important issue that is tearing indigenous communities apart.
And this story is far more than a hard thriller about tragedy or trauma. It brings community, culture and genuine joy into a world that fights through hard things as matter of course.
More people need to read this book.

My favorite Melissa Whitney

Revisado: 10-11-24

How can a book be so charming and funny and heartfelt and gutting all at once?
And the performance was spectacular
Romance isn't my #1 most read genre, but Whitney is an auto-buy author. I love how much care she puts into everything she writes.

A romance with substance and heart

Revisado: 08-23-24

This book is so good! How on earth is this a debut novel?! I enjoyed the story, the dual timeline, and the way everything was satisfyingly deep. What a great romance story

This author can really put together a surprising but satisfying story

Revisado: 08-23-24

Twins. So many suspects. Great tension. The push tows the line between mystery and cozy thriller in such a satisfying way

Compelling story, stellar performance

Revisado: 05-31-24

Devil of the deep is unlike any other fantasy I've read. The world is huge and the characters are so genuine. This feels like the beginning to an epic world

I loved the twists and turns of this story

Revisado: 03-05-24

J.C. Fuller wrote a compelling story with lovable characters that keeps you guessing to the end. The performance was on point and the pacing was great.

A quirky book about clever creatures?

Revisado: 04-09-23

On the surface this book is light and fluffy, but looks can be deceiving. Hidden beneath the bright cover and absurdity of an octopus narrator is a deep and compelling story about family and trauma. Each character brings deeper meaning into the other’s story and knits together the fabric of the story in a way that mimics the fabric of a family built from scratch.
Van Pelt did a remarkable job tying up loose ends and presents a strong stand-alone story with a satisfying end that is both unexpected and inevitable. While it pushes the extent of my tollerance for multiple POV, it does so with purpose.

There’s no such thing as a perfect story

Revisado: 04-09-23

… but this one comes as close as a story gets! It’s not quite horror, it’s not quite thriller. There’s a deeper story hiding behind the eerie, atmospheric tension that makes this book hard to put down.
The book focuses on one woman’s experience, but uses her story to pain the picture of the state of this small town and the country in general by dabbling into themes of racism, trauma, prejudice, and the systemic racism built into the fabric of America.
Even the supernatural elements are founded in the meaning and importance of the constellations.

Classic Stephen king in every way but one

Revisado: 04-09-23

This is really more like three stories in one. The first being the story of a teen and an old man. Their relationship and the circumstances surrounding it are compelling. There is so much classic King in this section, and very much creates the grounding sense of real world that makes the extraordinary so much more compelling.
The middle transitions from the real word into the fantastical and also represents Charlie’s transformation into the extraordinary. Of the three components, the middle, from meeting goose girl through Claudia, moves the slowest. I struggled to determine if this was due to the story structure or the nature of how I consumed the book, so I’m not going to fault the novel without being certain.
The third portion is the sojourn into the city through the return to the real world. This portion really moves, and this is where all the backstory pays off.
