I’m getting a powerful urge to rewatch Hannibal.

I think I knew this book was scary as hell going into it, but damn.

The fact that this was written by a psychologist makes a lot of sense. But if this ends up being an “it was all a hallucination” story I’m going to be pissed.

Dear god, this is slow. I’m hanging in there because I’m not giving up on yet another book I bought (in the same niche subgenre, no less!), but something better happen soon. I can’t stand anymore backstory.

This book is doing a hell of a lot to make me hate Tiffany. Also, who is named Tiffany these days?

I always forget that LA books feel so claustrophobic. Its a world where everyone is always watching, which is a horror novel in itself. But I'm liking this a lot. It's profoundly and unapologetically gay.

Not gonna lie, I'm hating this so far! Going to give it my best shot, but I may not last much longer.

“You’re in the story with the rest of us now.” We’ve been in the age of meta for nearly twenty years now, and yet nothing I’ve seen has ever touched this book.

Man I’m struggling with this. I can’t really find anything to latch onto about the characters. And it feels a little too much like Heart-Shaped Box, it feels like retreading the same ground.

This is extremely overwritten. Like, girl, shut the fuck up and just tell the story.

This might be some of the spookiest, goriest, darkest, sexiest horror I’ve ever read.

This book is surprisingly good at creating scary villains. Like, this is mostly silly fun, but when a bad guy shows up it’s genuinely chilling.

Oh this is the fun kind of scary.

Alright, despite my frustrations with this, I really want to know what’s going on.

I like this story, but I’m really struggling with the writing style. My eyes just don’t want to stay on the page.

It’s pretty uncanny to be reading this and watching Welcome to Derry at the same time.

“Just because something’s your fault doesn’t mean you have to fix it.” Here, here! 😂

I almost hate to admit it, but this book is quite charming.

Didn’t we establish relationships are not permitted within the knighthood? Is that the excuse they’re going with to stop this funny business between Six and Rory?

I’m really not getting the dynamic here. It seems like this is going for a stuck up nun/rude knight thing, but honestly she’s ruder than him, and he’s not even that much an as asshole. I don’t really understand Six at all.

We're halfway through and they've made it home? Oh no. Oh no, things are about to get very bad.

This book makes me want to live inside a pumpkin spice latte.

What is happening. What is this book.

Well shit, this is definitely the Stephen Graham Jones book I should have started with.

Someone needs to slap some sense into Bea.

Oh, I’m dumb. I just figured out that this is a Gatsby retelling.

I love books about weird women.

While I am enjoying the vibes, I’m five stories in and none have been particularly good. The Hare and the Hound has been the best so far, but it felt the least on theme, and the end was a little dull.

I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the political tilt of this book.

This guy’s take on economics and how UBI would change things is…interesting.
