Really enjoyed reading this book. With all the hype going around I expected a bit more from this book. Felt like the drama on the second half of the book went by so fast. But still enjoyed it....and related to the underlying messsage. Will continue to read Colleen Hoover. LOVE ATLAS !

Read this on Kindle Unlimited, was my first read on Kindle and I really enjoyed it. Im usually a type of person that is not great with horror movies (then I cant sleep at night or I get overstimulatecd by the sounds around me) but I find it that I really enjoyed reading horror. Specially if the psychological element is present. Will continue to explore Lucinda Berry books.

There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

3.5

It was an enjoyable read. Started off a bit slow and dragged for a while but picked up pace once the action started. Did not like the main character Makani that much. Love Alex sarcastic sense of humor. & I must say I was not at all impressed with Makani's Big Secret :/ really thought it would be something a little bit more shocking. Will give Stephanie Perkins another try mainly in the romance section.

I was told by my sister to give this book a chance. I had seen a lot of hype around it and then some not so great reviews... SOOOO I was doubtful. BUT it did NOT disappoint. Had me reading non stop, had me intrigued by the edge of my seat while I was cooking, took it with me to the bathroom. SOOOO yeahhh !!! It does have some sensible topics so might want to check out the trigger warnings before diving into this WILD ride !!! By the way...h.mmmm...... #teammanuscript here !!
