This book was abysmal. The main problem seems to be a combination of lackluster plot and stilted translation.

Simone St. James is an amazing author. Her books are atmospheric, thoughtful, spooky, and ultimately hopeful.

Rachel Caine is a talented author who draws you right into this gritty, gripping story and even if you wanted to, you can’t look away.

I struggled through this book and generally found all of the characters to be unlikeable, the dialogue unrealistic, and the plot flimsy.

This book is an absolute delight and I’m so in love with the story and characters.

Jacqueline Woodson is such an exquisite writer. Her words, her stories, they sing like melodies on the page.

I wanted to love this book, and I love everything about the concept, but after the first few chapters it turned into such a slog.

This book was creepy, mysterious, and unputdownable.

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi is an amazing book. It was scary and creepy, thought-provoking and sad, and ultimately hopeful.

I loved the idea of this book, but the execution fell flat unfortunately.
