I’m intrigued and entertained but also unnerved by the overuse of obscenities. I’m no prude about foul language but every single character swears like a sailor, even their 12 year old selves cuss like seasoned adults. The F word has lost all meaning at this point to and no longer emphasizes anything. Maybe it’s because I’m listening to the audio book version that it’s so noticeable, but it’s annoying.

One more petty complaint.

“I was just out to your house” the investigator said.

The next page. “I gave the investigator directions to my house.”

Just need to document that I’m really annoyed by it being stated that fairies are deathly allergic to lemons and then on the very next page it says the fairy orders a 7 and 7 at the bar, which contains 7Up, which contains lemon. Petty I know, but it irks me when silly inconsistencies slip through the cracks.

Shelving this. I’m just approaching the halfway mark and I feel like nothing has really happened. It started off strong with some eerie elements, and I was so excited for it. Maybe it picks up steam in the second half. It has praise from other authors I like so I may pick it back up to finish eventually. Just need something different right now.

Devouring this! Started today and fast approaching the half-way point. It’s giving Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. Same premise - a person without family or money and in no position to turn down paid work is offered a mysterious job with strange stipulations. Someone is preying on the desperate.

I am NOT loving this! Whyyyy am I not loving this?? All the characters seem unlikable and the omniscient third person writing makes dialog and internal thoughts so confusing! Looking like this will be the rare instance in which I favor the movie over the book.

I was on a roll but worry now that I put it down, I may not pick it back up. I'm always more likely to finish fiction because I need to know how it ends. Non-fiction always poses the risk of me losing interest in someone talking in circles. It's been a decent read so far though. Will finish eventually.

Just guessing at the page number because I'm halfway through the audiobook (that counts, right?) I don't know if it's because I'm listening to instead of reading but I just can't get engrossed in it. Maybe if I were reading it at my own pace and hearing the voices as I imagine them instead I would be more captivated, or perhaps I'm distracted with multitasking as I listen, but I'm only mildly interested.

Finally! A book that's pulled me in, it's been forever! So far it's included some of my favorite story elements; legends, witches, beachy summer vibes, it's a hell of a combination. Super eager to get deeper into the story. It definitely has the potential to be one of my favorites.
