There is suspense and then there is whatever this is…get to the pooooinnnnntttt.

Took the time for a slow morning today. Really needed it and tbh the book is a good companion for a slow morning with a cup of black tea, while it rains outside.

I want to smack the old lady against the wall. Would it be appropriate? Probably not. I would do it anyway…

The vibe reminds me very much of the show “The Hunting of Bly Manor”. Quite a good show, you should watch it.
Also the servants in the book remind me of the servants in the show. Maybe the author used the show as an inspiration. I don’t mind that tho…depending on how the book progresses.

The tone of the book is eerie.
I love it.

Fuuuck…I need to go to work but I don’t waaaant tooo. Now it’s getting real tense and I want to keep reeeeading …

I have such a soft spot for characters who are looked at lovingly and are absolutely shocked by it, because they are not used to it.

»Elethior Tourael looking at me like-

The last ten pages were filled with: what the fuck?!-thoughts and ended in a satisfying nod.

One would assume that at 2.400 meter below sea level, certain precautions would be taken, such as not all crawling into the very strange cave that shouldn't really be there, and one person staying behind to secure the way back. But of course, it's also a plan if everyone climbs into the questionable hole with no safe way out or any other safety measures.

Guys, you know I’m on my summer vacation as soon as I read underwater horror books.

This one is pure gore. I didn’t count the deaths until now but damn … there are many. And not in a pretty way. But the people are as naive and dumb as they can be.

I don't know if the author has had personal experience with manipulative, toxic and emotionally abusive guys, but the ex-boyfriend didn't even show up and the WA messages alone made me break out in a sweat, including a tight feeling in my chest.

It would be wonderful if the cover art would match the contents…it looks like it is made for 14 years old but tackles themes like grief, death of a beloved person and toxic relationships (as well as a love or parent-child relationship)

'Tschuldigung, aber ignorieren wir hier gerade die Tatsache, dass Yrsa einfach einen Mann geküsst hat, ohne ihn zu fragen?! Und der, als er seinen Schrecke und Unmut darüber äußert, nur zu hören bekommt, dass er sich beruhigen soll?!
Sexuelle Belästigung geht anscheinend nur in die andere Richtung … wtf?

Hängt die Anführerin des KÜSTENCLANS, die mit dem FISCHFANG auf dem MEER überleben, kotzend über der Reling … mood

He doesn’t even have a room at his father’s house.

I’m gonna go cry in a corner now. Byeee.

…I’m so fucking single it isn’t even funny anymore

The most relatable quote ever: “Why are men?”
Honey…I don’t know either.

I‘m gonna go cry in a corner for now.
This story is heart wrenching.
Bye.

The plot twists are twisting the hell outta my brain

What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening.
I‘m so confused and at the Same time so intrigued.

Like … boyyyys what is happening?!

I‘m so hooked! OS is freaking me out

Wakes up with memory lapses in space, has 342 problems to solve regarding his space ship and his sister is probably dead, but yes, he's horny. Priorities are set.

»I turn to see the Kid running for us. Bobo and Albie flop in either hand, and he's hunched over with the weight of his backpack.«
~ don’t talk to me. I’m an emotional wreck. Thank you and good night.

The author is so good in taking new fears of the apocalypse and old fears of the mundane life before it and mixing it up like a cocktail of pain and hopelessness.

F*cking alligators man…welcome to Florida

That’s the second time, sexual assault is used as an instrument for the guy to safe the woman. And I hate it with all my being…(it’s realistic in this setting, absolutely, disgustingly so, but to use it as an extreme plot device to show the “love” the man has for the woman is disgusting too)
