The Book Breakup
The Book Breakup rated it 9 years ago
This was one of those books that I just don’t know how I feel about. It’s not bad, but I’m not sure I would describe it as “great" either. “Good” works, but it doesn’t quite convey this absence of feeling I have. It was unusual, for sure, which fits it right into the gothic horror category. V...

Release Date: August 15th, 2013 and August 14th, 2014 from the Penguin Group Summaries from Goodreads: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea Between the Spark and the Burn So I decided to put the two books together since I read them back-to-back. In all honesty, I did not like this duology as I...

Well, happily, I can check another book off of my mountainous TBR that I missed and had to go back to. Since I first laid eyes upon this book, with its eerie cover and gothic sounding synopsis, I've wanted to read it. Sadly, I can't say that I enjoyed it as much as I hoped to. There was just too muc...

When I chose that book through Goodreads, I had no idea what i was getting into. Well, using the Devil as a possible character could always end up as a huge fiasco - but here comes Tucholke's genius to teach me that you don't have to portrait the actual Devil, but if he is what you're searching for,...

So I did like this book. But I was expecting more. I was expecting really creepy, can't put it down until you know what the hell is going on, almost akin to Julie Berry's "All The Truth That's In Me", or Kate Karyus Quinn's "Another Little Piece", the latter of those I haven't been able to finish ye...

Spoiler Rating: Low Dear Lizzy, You’re a woman in touch with her folksy roots, so you’ve probably heard the term “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” I hadn’t until I started reading this book; my Northerner grandma isn’t the type to use idioms, and my Southerner grandma isn’t the type to ...

I received a copy from Netgalley.***Some very mild plot spoilers****I've had this book on my to be read list for what seems like ages. I've seen a mixed bag of reviews, and then saw the UK version available on Netgalley and thought oooh! That's on my want to read list. So I put in a request. Admitte...

This book gave off a wonderfully creepy, southern-summer kind of vibe, and I just loved it. I particularly loved the strange, nonsensical metaphors scattered throughout the text. I feel they added to the southern feel and gave the book a sense of integrity that I really could connect to. Having a so...
