The charm on these books is really starting to wear off for me..not because of the story itself, but because the writer has this annoying habit of trying to insert some kind of social commentary and it's just pedantic an annoying. For example, the new characters Cora. She's fat. But she's the only one who cares that she's fat. She brings up being fat every fucking page that features her. Like who gives a shit?

Nowhere close to being as good as the previous two books. The plot only starts developing about 100+ pages in, and it's a little dubious, to be honest.

This book has really grown on me. It's not as predictable a story as inthoight it might be. The author os doing a great job giving the protagonist emotional depth that the reader can really feel.

I haven't read this book in years but I remember loving it when I was a teenager. I have a taste for dark fairy tales. I remember some things but there is a lot I had forgotten so I am thoroughly enjoying the journey.

It's okay. No strong feelings about it either way.

Lool- if you are going to make creative edits to known historical figures then at least make them not so annoying.
I'm trying to enjoy the story but it's such subpar writing that i just want to get it over with

Is this story about Juana of Vadtile or about a child being seduced by an adult? What the actually fuck is this?

Wtf am I reading? This is some weird historical fan-fiction. I don't have an issue with erotica but the fact that the girl is 16 and man is pushing 50 is creeping me out.

Well this is a disappointing start. PTSD, I get, but pippa has become a lying, pseudo drug addict, or at least she is on her way to it. It's pretty dark. I get being affected by what she went through but this is a little extreme for a character change. It's a little depressing. Hopefully it picks up

This really is a good mystery. I don't know why it took me so long to pick it back up. Proof that you have to be in the mood to read certain things!

Pippa rocks. She rages over injustice in a way I can definitely relate to. Her response to a certain trial verdict was epic. I really related to her fury and desire to take action.

I'm struggling with the overwhelming urge to hurl this book out into the snow for being so dumb. They finally have a solution to the curse and literally have all the thinks ready to break it but instead they are just going to wait. Wtf??? Why??? That makes absolutely no sense!!!! I'm so angry right now and I hate when writers do this and no editor thought to say this makes no sense.

Idk. This story gives me a little bit of the ick. The fact that it's based off of a true crime is hard to forget. Plus the podcaster Trinity is the kind of "true crime afficionado" that gives it a bad rep. It's not about justice for an unfinished story, it's about getting ratings for her podcast. I'm regretting starting this one.

I sure wish something would happen because so far it's been 100 pages of nothing but micro dramas

I really like the plot of this mystery and I've gotten into the pattern of the Victorian vernacular. I do think there is a lot of "fluff" however in the dialogue. It takes people awhile to get to the point, and I'm not sure if that is intentional or just the style of this writer or what.

Geez this book is sad. So much exploitation.

I cant tell if this is supposed to by dystopian, but it's definitely going to give me nightmares.

I certainly did not realize I was walking into depression made tangible in bum-fuck West Virginia. Only 30 pages in and this might be the saddest small town ever. It's almost comical how it manages to check all the boxes. Like a made-for-TV Syfy film waiting to happen.

Not every story makes me laugh out loud, but when I do it's hard to shake it off. And even the stories that don't make me laugh are interesting. There is justbsonething about his writing that I really enjoy.

Holly Jackson really knows how to build up a plot. Once it gets going, it takes off and keeps you engaged, exactly how a mystery should be.

Im struggling to enjoy this one. It moves slow, and Det. Rob Ryan is terrible at his job. His relationship with his partner is clearly inappropriate and he's being manipulated by the girl Rosalind, which is so obvious to any reader. Not sure I'm enjoying it as much as I had hoped
