A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
2.0
Idk. It was fine. I called the ending by page 50. I'm also tired of female narrators in mystery/thriller novels being stupid. Like... come on. You can create a good story without needing the narrator's dumbass decisions to drive the action forward.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man by Jason Reynolds
3.5
I liked it but it just felt incomplete to me. What happened to all those other men? Why white cats? Did I miss something? I just had more questions than I would have liked. I will definitely be recommending this to the freshmen boys in my classroom.
Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
2.75
Idkkkk I just didn't believe the narrator at all. It didn't feel suspenseful to me because he felt so delulu the whole time, and not in the way the author intended I don't think. I also feel like the Charlie reveal wasn't all that shocking. I like the idea of the book and reading about the murders. The believability just wasn't there.
What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall
3.5
Lots of twists and turns. A couple felt a tad forced but mostly a solid read.
All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers
3.0
It was a solid read but I really hate when part of the story isn't resolved.
The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman

I liked the story a lot, but it was a little too slow for me at times.
