Spy X Family by Tatsuya Endo – ☆☆ 5 Stars☆☆ My first MANGA! and I can’t stop singing its praises! Agent Twilight and the family he puts together for the sake of his mission are EVERYTHING! there were so many cute moments with Anya who is his telepathic fake child and bad ass scenes with Yor, his assassin fake wife. Not sure if I would try this author again, may just not be for me. She doesn’t get much of a reprieve and the ending happened at lightning speed. However, I didn’t love that every single one of our MC’s superiors was a disgusting pig who treated her terribly. At times gruesome with depictions of bodies that met violent ends, the supernatural aspects were well done. She’s met with one ghost who is very aggressive and won’t be ignored, she wants her murder solved or else.
The MC is a forensics photographer who also happens to see ghosts and they almost always need/want her to listen or help in order for their souls to rest in peace. I wanted to love it since any stories that feature anything in the realm of forensics almost always piques my interest, but also it’s set in New Mexico’s Navajo Nation. Shutter by Ramona Emerson – ☆☆ 3 Stars☆☆ sadly I can’t remember too much of this one other than it was slow and the narrator just wasn’t it. This one is told in dual timelines with Vera recounting childhood interactions with her parents & present time. The relationship between Vera and her mother is just about as toxic as they come, no love lost between the two. It’s disturbing, the last book that made me feel like this is just wrong! is when I read My Dark Vanessa.
The house this story takes place in holds many secrets which the author did a fantastic job of conveying from the very first page. I still hear the female lead Vera, bone-chilling and cold are the words that come to mind. Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey – ☆☆ 4 Stars☆☆ a PERFECT add-on to your spooky TBR’s, this was an audiobook listen and I’m of the mind that this is the format to take in this story. The grumpy-sunshine trope is done well, it’ll just come down to how you mesh with Pheobe’s personality, I have a full review here Love in the Time Of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson – ☆☆ 3 Stars☆☆ Overall enjoyable if you can get past the pessimist female lead with a knack for dropping serial killer pop culture trivia more than preferred.
My reading was giving off Fall vibes all throughout August, none of these were light in tone or plot but my heart was happy and I have a few new 5 star favorites…
