A Killing Cold by Kate Alice Marshall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
this was okay, a little creepy, relatively fast-paced and liked the many twists that came in a flurry at the end.

This was a quiet and interesting read but in the end it didn’t really stick the landing for me. It was absolutely worth the read.
love this. fast paced, excellent court room scenes.
A super interesting book centered around the idea of a pandemic where the people who get sick and recover become deeply content and start shedding/donating etc their worldly possessions. There’s a lot of interesting and thought-provoking ideas here around what it means to be happy, can society survive if everyone is compassionate and giving? What if some are and some aren’t? What’s moral and can you sacrifice some to save many? and so much more. Shusterman is an exquisite author and this book is no exception. with gratitude to netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am not going to rate this book. I know many loved it and I kept trying and trying but after getting 60+% through this VERY LONG book, I am so so done. Not the book for me. Too much drama, not enough character development.
Hilderbrand’s novels are always a joy to read and this last nod to her Nantucket stories was no exception. Fun story, lovely bowtie to end with.
There’s something about Beck’s ability to read her own books that resonates with me and also her no-nonsense attitude and clear articulation of her ideas. Combine that with the fact that so many of the things I am looking into and learning about right now like IFS and Byron Katie all culminate in this book. And most importantly, this completely and totally explains why I paint for 1-4 hours every single day now. Love this book.
3.5 stars Cute, sweet book. I loved reading this one. It was exactly what I needed.
3.5 stars on this one. I feel like the first story was the most exciting one by a long distance. Book two and book three were both interesting and I thought this book was the conclusion so I read it but now I am not sure it was the end? I still liked my time with it.
I seem to be on a historical fiction path lately and I am really enjoying every one of these stories. Lawhon is such an excellent writer and I am so glad that this exceptional woman was memorialized in this fantastic book.
I enjoyed this fast-paced and well-developed story. It had a very similar feel and style to Daisy Jones & The Six. But it also completely held its own and was able to deliver a well-told story in a similar style. I enjoyed every moment I spent with this story.
Gareth Brown clearly knows how to write books that I love. I love love loved his previous book so I was so excited to find out that he had a new one coming out. Magical books were awesome, magical objects turned out to be completely awesome, too. And I loved the references back to the first book in a way that was not disruptive to those who never read the first book but felt like an insider’s gift to those who did! Like his first book, this story is full of imagination, joy, a true joy for your senses, especially visually. Of course all the good must be balanced by evil, so evil is there too. Some very interesting choices for evil in this book. All the characters are unique and jump off the page. It is clear to me I will forever read anything Brown writes, I just hope he writes fast so I can keep reading more and more of his wonderful stories. with gratitude to netgalley and William Morrow for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. |
