This was a book G picked up from the library. It's a spooky, gothic, Victorian era mystery with overtones of Jane Eyre. I really enjoyed it up to a certain point, I thought it was suitably mysterious and spooky, but the last few chapters felt rushed. The twist was not what I was expecting at all. The lead character was interesting but I don't think very likeable. There were some good villains to hate in it, and it was a page-turner to be sure. So overall I gave it 4 stars - I wouldn't read it again but it was entertaining and an easy read.
Next read, Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. Not read it in years, picked up from the library.
After that The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier, picked up second hand. It's our next bookclub read and I'm excited because I've been wanting to read it for a while. Love a good sci-fi mysterious events on a flight stuff.
I have a mildly amusing story connected with this book. I wanted to read it a while ago and got the book from the library. As I was reading it I got more and more confused. Where was the plane and why were they in caves. I'd picked up the wrong Anomaly... this one:
It was a completely bizarre story about creepy caves with a mechanism that evolved these monsters super-fast. It was enjoyable but absolutely nonsensical haha.
Anyway, the sun is out and I feel Spring is in the air!
Have a lovely day
