I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh

Jenna Gray’s life changes so fast due to a terrible accident and the only thing that keeps her sane is moving to a remote cottage on the Welsh coast.

At the same time, DI Ray Stevens is tasked with seeking justice for a mother who is living every parent's worst nightmare. Determined to get to the bottom of the case, it begins to consume him as he puts both his professional and personal life on the line.

The story starts with the accident and immediately I felt eager to know what was going to happen. It was vivid and strong and I was overwhelmed with emotions. But then things got a little hazy.

Gillian Flynn: The Grownup

When I saw that there was another book by Gillian Flynn, even if it was a short story, I just had to read it! So I ran to my favorite bookstore and bought a copy of The Grownup.

From the first paragraph, since I don't usually read the back cover synopsis, it was obvious that there's yet another troubled character. And I was hooked!

It starts like this: 

“I didn't stop giving hand jobs because I wasn't good at it. I stopped giving hand jobs because I was the best at it!”

Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

There is a girl on the train. 

Same train, every morning. Watching out the window, inspecting the scenery, looking at unknown people. Every day. Until she starts noticing a couple. The same couple on their deck, drinking coffee, kissing or just sitting. Then what is unknown becomes familiar and when the woman goes missing, Rachel, just has to help the police because what she saw from the train may be the answer they're seeking.

Harry Hole: The Redeemer

Harry, Harry, Harry ... he is an unpredictable bastard that’s what he is. But I never have enough of his stories. Harry Hole is a truly remarkable character to read and he’s almost always too hard to outsmart.

But there was a guy in this book, who managed quite well to sneak up on him. And that made the story more interesting.

Breathtaking: Dark Places

If it’s Gillian Flynn then I’m hooked!

Seriously give me everything she has ever written and I want to read it. I finished Dark Places and I’m more thrilled about her and her stories. If Sharp Objects blew my mind once, Dark Places splattered my brain all over the place.

And I still want more.

Sharp Objects

I promised I would blog about this book and how could I leave it aside? I mean … wow! This book is the first read that excites me so much after my beloved Harry Hole, by Jo Nesbo. This book is written by Gillian Flynn and, if I’m not mistaken, this was her debut novel. It’s a psychological thriller with a very interesting character and a more interesting plot. If you don’t have already added it to your TBR list. I say you do it soon!

So, join me to a spoiler free (as always) discussion about Sharp Objects. Awesome title, huh?

The Shining

So, I read The Shining, by Stephen King. You know, the one like the movie, where Jack Nicholson gone mad in a huge hotel up to the mountains. There was blood and ghosts and too much screaming. Yes, I read it and my skin crawled, the house felt too quiet and the lights were always on.

Let’s say a few things. What do you say?

The Monstrumologist

A pretty interesting title, don’t you agree? At least if you are intrigued by monsters, dark creatures and peculiar scientists in 1888. I was thrilled since the moment I read the synopsis and the book itself hooked me for good.

Are you ready for a tour in the monstrumology’s world?

These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for more than forty years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets. The one who saved me . . . and the one who cursed me.

Nemesis

Harry Hole is back! Well, I’m back with more Harry Hole to discuss, and I really can’t wait. 

Jo Nesbo managed, one more time, to keep me alert, anxious and he made me travel with him in Harry’s world, where nothing is ever as it seems. 

Join me in a spoiler free discussion about this amazing thriller. But be careful, it might be addictive.

Today’s book is Nemesis and Harry is just a mess.

Harry Hole: The Snowman

Oh, I already love this post. It’s been a while since I wrote about a book, but I was waiting for a good one. And we have a winner. 

As the title says, today I’m going to talk about The Snowman. For those who haven’t heard about it, it’s a thriller written by the Norwegian author Jo Nesbo, and it’s so damn good. Maybe it’s the best of the books I’ve read this year.

So, join me to a spoiler free talk about the book. I know you’ll love it.
