I want to read the comic IMMEDIATELY. I loved to hate some of the characters, and i found some of the unlikable ones still so interesting. I agree that this book was super slow but oh god it sucked me in!

Made me really want Malaysian food 😠I wish the ending wasn’t as cliche as it was, and as such, is losing one star! But the voice is so strong and I’m recommending this to everyone who likes a light mystery, or likes Malaysian food!

I didn't love this book, but I adored the characters - I wish that I was really in the mood for this. A good southern gothic which combines realism and magic! I wish it was more hard on the magic system..
I wish there was more time for character development, but the action was written well! I loved the descriptions, it all felt so real!!!!!
I did tear up at the end of it though!
Please check the trigger warnings before going in!

I wish the spook could get over his hypocrisy with alice, and the ending felt underwhelming, but the nostalgia wave continues!

Wasn't convinced about the love between the two characters, though I loved the interesting writing style, as it is super unique. Loved the competition, though wish it was more of a competition in the end. Needed more Tsukiko, and character depth for the other characters. However, I loved the setting and the whimsical feeling, as well as poppet, widget and bailey.
Talking with Female Serial Killers: A Chilling Study of the Most Evil Women in the World by Christopher Berry-Dee
1.0
It was the worst book I have ever read, syntax, grammar and spelling mistakes. The subject matter is interesting but needed to be dealt with in a more mature and professional way. I did not enjoy the humour and most of the killers weren't serial killers, they just murdered one person or so. Constant plugging of himself and misogynistic undertones plague this.
