I don't know how to feel about this! I enjoyed it a lot but I did speed through a lot of it in order to get it finished so I'm not entirely sure if I fully got the whole story. I enjoyed the narration but I'd love to set aside time and actually read this again because I think I'd probably get more from it a second time through
  
I absolutely loved this book....The author does creepy so well! A fast paced read and I couldn't put the book down. Well written, plot and characters. Get ready for a wild ride. I received an ARC copy for a voluntary, honest review.

I enjoyed this read. Living on Cape Cod gave me a different perspective. The descriptions were right on and I enjoyed reading a book with references to things I knew! The characters sucked me in and it was a very fast read.

I was hooked
I loved the development of the characters and the way the life of the protagonist was portrayed a bit at a time. I found her very relatable and cried a few times towards the end.

"This book is like a love letter to libraries, and made me nostalgic for the long hours I used to spend there when I was a kid. It’s a captivating story and I can’t wait for y’all to read it with me!"

Such a good read and could never of guessed the ending.
It was a page turner that I couldn't put down.
It kept me guessing and everytime I thought I had figured it out a twist got thrown in.

I had heard a little about this book before I saw that it was being made into a movie. The concept seemed cute and was definitely a good read. I was not prepared for the amount of sadness that I would have while reading and every time Cameron described the aging of the dogs, I found myself petting mine and holding her closer. Well written and easily embraces the view point of a dog from beginning to end and back again. I think all dog lovers should read this but have a tissue handy.

I love a good fantasy book and I knew that this was one challenge I wouldn't find difficult. I would devour this fantasy book in a day and enjoy it and love it and find a new series to keep me occupied.

Well, ladies and gentleman, I have learnt my lesson. Never judge a book by its cover or in this case its genre.

Let me give you a bit of background first before I launch into my opinion.

This book was a trilling read.

I loved the whole thing as it's a real keen interest of mine. I've even brought the follow up that book. Only problem is I've had a baby so my time to read it has been very minimal.

I was drawn into the book many years back when I saw it advertised at a trim station.

I will have to reread one day as it was a very good book which I read quite quick but I can't quite remember the time scale.
