I will get this book in a week.

Okay, then next week it is :)

I'd like to join.! What day have you guys moved to?

I think we moved it to 12th, but I'll let Michelle confirm because it's her copy :D

I finally got my copy, but can start the 12th if that works for. ll. a

@Michelle Starting it tomorrow works for me, or well continuing it because I already started it. Actually tomorrow would work much more, because around the 12th I'll have some other buddy reads.

perfect me too

I actually got to chapter 11 tonight. Very interesting. Wonder if it is going to be like the last book we read of hers Home Before Dark, with weird but simple explanations.

I think yes, I've read only one other book from him I don't remember much but I think it was in the same tone. As for this book.. I think I already know what's going to happen, because I may have read a spoilery thing a while back, but I don't know how and other things.

I looked up your shelf, you haven't read The Final Girls.. do you maybe want to read that too after we finish with this one, and our BR schedule is not so hectic?

I can read that one too. Just got Final Girls from the library. I have it for 2 weeks. My buddy reads are picking up like crazy this week. Had no idea the author was a male. LOL. All the Riley's I know are girls.

Mine too, this and the next week are a bit hectic. How about the last week of the month?

* Wow, the author that wrote her favorite book was so rude. I felt really bad for Jules.
* I'm wondering why Ingrid lied and what's behind that scream.

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[Andrew is such a duche.. But Jules' way of getting read of him is so... I don't know, teenage? I don't know how otherwise to explain it, but it reminds me of older movies or books where kissing some other dude and pretending you are with him magically should tell the ex to go to hell and that the MC is so perfectly happy. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 26(view spoiler)[I'm curious about what the other tenants know but are not telling.. like what's the conspiracy :D Also, if I'm being honest Jules annoys me a bit. Like she knows people are not going to run to tell her the secrets of the Bartholomew or that they will help her or believe her about her suspicions that something is wrong with Ingrid's disappearance and she STILL pushes, constantly mentioning she doesn't believe Ingrid just left. Like, keep quiet and do some sleuthing. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 27(view spoiler)[I don't know if I should or shouldn't suspect Nick of something or not 😂 Is he helping her because he really wants to help her or is he just helping her because he knows she won't find anything. Since everyone is acting so shady I think I'm maybe not overreacting. Plus there's that thing that I think is happening, and well.. I'll tell you about it when we finish the book (hide spoiler)]

I thought of stopping after the chapters for day two, however, things are starting to get interesting, and since I don't know how much I'll be able to read in the following days I'll continue reading and high chances finish it now.

I thought I could finish it tonight, but I'm feeling sleepy so I'm stopping after chapter 33 hoping I'll have time to finish it tomorrow and finally get to know what's going on.

I got to chapter 29. Might have time later tonight, but I will finish tomorrow for sure. Have like 3 buddy reads starting.

Yes how she handled Andrew showing up was childish, but it worked to get him out of there. Also can't believe he was asking for money. WTF!!!

It all feels a bit shady to me. Hoping Nick is not involved. Weird that he is into her though. Just some random girl who is at a low point.

The articles about the servants dying of disease in the long ago past. Makes me think haunted, but the other book makes me think it is tenants.

Liking it for sure

I have one BR starting today, but tomorrow I'll add two more to the list 😅

Andrew was such a sleaze I don't know what him appearing brought to the story. So far it looks like it only pushed Jules to sleep with Nick and have some kind of relationship with him.. and if he is involved in whatever that would make a bigger betrayal.. otherwise he was not needed.

I don't find it that weird that Nick is into her even though she's at a low point, it could happen 🤷 But with that whole situation it's suspicious.

I think Sager makes something look paranormal but actually is only humans to blame. I thought he maybe did paranormal when we read Home before dark, but now at his third book I think that's not his thing.

I'm liking it too, definitely more than Home before dark and The Last time I lied, but let's see how things are going to end.

chapter 34 (view spoiler)[Is it just me or do you too find Jules' texting Ingrid things she discovered a stupid move? What if someone is reading those texts, and now she told them that she knows about Erica. I think that Dylan hasn't openly searched for Erica or not as openly as Jules is looking for Ingrid and that's the reason he was there for the longest. If he wasn't brought in in the previous chapters to show he's in Jules' position I might have been suspicious of him too.

And now I see that "Ingrid" replied, I wrote the text up before reading that part and I was right someone is reading the texts. Stupid Jules. Now I expect her next move to be to tell "Ingrid" everything she has discovered, because I don't think highly about her intelligence.

Oh good, she didn't spill it all.

:O :O :O Omg I was right about the situation with Andrew, it was to push Jules to have a bigger connection with Nick. Like I expected that, but daaaaamn :D (hide spoiler)]

chapter 41(view spoiler)[ Her wanting to warn Dylan is nice, but also stupid. As I said her snooping around is more probable to make her the next victim than Dylan. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 47(view spoiler)[ I knew about the organ transplantation, that's the thing I was spoiled about, but the satanic part of it was new to me and I liked that I was surprised by that. Also, what a bunch of pricks thinking the "important" people are superior in any way to other humans. (hide spoiler)]

I definitely enjoyed this one more than the other books. I really hope The Final Girls will be great too.

I finished last night. Stayed up way too late. I really enjoyed it and had no ideas about the mystery. Liked this one much more than Home Before Dark. Haven't read The Last Time I Lied.

You called several things. Bad news texting all the info out and then why Andrew was there.

Yes had no idea about the organ "donor" aspect. So many clever things, getting Ingrid to cut her for blood type/medical info. Thought it stupid of Ingrid to give out her medical info. When the girl came to interview and Jules was hiding under the bed, the girl wasn't chosen on the spot like Jules because she had family.

There are still people that think they are "superior" to others. We have come a long way on that, but still more to go as a society.

I love a thriller with twists and turns. Fun read

It really was a thriller with good twists and turns.

I know there are still those type of people, it's just.. wow. But as you said we've come a long way and still have more to go.

Are you okay with starting the Final Girls on the 22st-23rd? Or you can say when it works for you.

No the 22nd works for me. Final Girls is a little bit longer, but that same time frame works as far as pages go.

Well, it's not like we really followed this reading plant either 😂 So I'll ask for this schedule, but we can read at our pace.
