….Simone called this book clunky. Not yet. Not yet at all.

I’m devastated. I knew things were definitely too good to be true, but I didn’t know things would go that way. I didn’t know they would be transported back, let alone one less. And NOT a character I ever would have expected. I have less than 100 pages to go, and it’s hard to imagine that the tension keeps ratcheting up, but here we are.

How can there still be so much of this book left? How can the remainder of this family be made to go through even more?! Loving the pull of this novel to be devoured.

So creepy!! Only like halfway through, and this poor family has already been through so much strangeness. And the way the little girl is reacting to all of it is very much giving Poltergeist vibes.

I’m enjoying this one so far. It’s easy to get invested in the family and weird goings on through the main characters eyes/voice. The landscape and isolation of the property seems to have set the perfect stage for the strange and unexplainable.

Look just a minute for me to get into it, but the book quickly turned creepy. Only about half-ish way through, and it’s already got me hooked. Like it as much as The Troop.

All the way into the book now! The drama is really ratcheting up, and it’s becoming hard to put this book down.

Loving it so far! Getting deeper into the plot, and the real danger and adrenaline is starting to kick in. Still very invested and pulled in.

Super interesting concept. I haven’t read anything quite like it. Fast paced and keeps the reader engaged. I really like the usage of they/them pronouns for a character and the implication of a budding lesbian romance. Very accepting and inclusive. Gives representation to some folks without typical hetero relationships ships and typical he/she roles.

Odd yet interesting so far. The characters are securely odd and off putting. Will have to see…

Gathering speed and deepening the interest. Working into a story about forbidden love, conditional morality, and breaking family themes/expectations (or not). Very curious to see how this all ties up at the end.

I started this book a couple of years ago, and stopped reading it for some reason I don’t remember. I picked it back up without starting over, and I’ve been getting back into it. Was slow going at first (my fault, not the book), but now that I’m back into the swing of it, I’m really enjoying it. There are multiple points of view, many different walks of life, and good ‘ole family drama.

Has been wonderful so far. Keeps me on my toes constantly with all of the twists and turns.

“You are not your thoughts. Act. You are what you do.”

So far, I find the writer to be quick witted and funny. Seems like it is solidly written to positively connect with the reader to deliver them fairly sound coaching.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

“To save one life is to save the world entire.”
“Silence ensures that history repeats itself.”

So far, very touching. Reminds me about the power of being seen.

So far it’s a bit dry, but I find the subject matter entertaining. Author has a clear voice while writing.
