DID NOT FINISH

i really tried to complete this one but the pace was way too slow for me and it was kinda boring tbh :((

Very clever indeed! Kudos to Ms. Glass for a well-developed plot with twisty suspense. This is the first book I've read by this author but now I'm excited to check out her backlist. My thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy of this book via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Though many of my favorite booktubers have recommended her works before, this was my first time reading Seraphina Nova Glass. This is a tense mystery, set mostly at a seedy, roadside motel outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. I absolutely love the cover and feel it fits the story well. There are lots of twists and turns, and I was indeed surprised by the big reveals that compose the climax. I was disappointed by a lack of detail in what characters looked like. It was hard to picture them at times. The ending felt a bit schmaltzy, but overall I really enjoyed this, and I would recommend it to most fans of domestic thrillers. Three and a half out of five!

I think there were some corny points but it was actually well written, the characters were compelling and making very human choices and the mystery wasn’t dumb!! I thought it was good definitely exceeded my expectations

I listened to the audiobook version of this one and I was very impressed with how much the story kept me engaged! There were several twists I definitely did not see coming. I loved how much resolution the ending gave as sometimes you don’t get as much of that in thrillers. Great book!
