The Hanging of The Greens by Andrew Michael Hurley, not my favourite 2⭐️

The Chillingham Chair by Laura Purcell
A haunted wheelchair?! Quite eerie 3⭐️

Lily Wilt by Jess Kidd- my least favourite thus far 2.5 ⭐️

The Eel Singers by Natasha Pulley.
I’ve read The Watchmaker of Filigree Street but a long time ago so these characters were a little alien to me at first. I loved the haunting singing and Christmas setting. 3.5⭐️

Thwaite’s Tenant by Imogen Hermes Gowar
A fleeing domestic violence survivor and her son in a remote house near Scarborough. 3.5 ⭐️

A Study of Black and White by Bridget Collins- a ghost story involving chess? Very atmospheric 4⭐️

I have no freaking idea what is going on, like at all but it is so compelling. I am so utterly confused and yet unlike Bunny I am invested in finding out what is going on. A missing kid, a guy who is obviously having a psychotic episode, multiple chapters from the POV of a cat…. It’s weird!

DNF @ page 109
Not really feeling the atmosphere- it’s very YA with its influencer storyline and teen characters. It’s sirens/mermaid horror but I’m just not into it

About to start Chapter 3. Not sure what to think so far but I'm not hating it instantly which sometimes happens with classics.

This book is pacy- vampires, humans, a body of a teenage boy with no blood- it’s all kicking off and I am completely absorbed in the storytelling. Why have I put this book off?

I despise Mrs Danvers with every beat of my heart- things are escalating now

After an initial hiccup when starting this book I now feel like I’m finding my feet with the story and the author’s writing style. More enthusiastic about continuing this book now 👍🏻
