A return to Lucy Foley greatness! A bit slow to start (and felt a bit formulaic) but then it hit its stride and I couldn't put it down. Foley seems to do best with folk horror/forest settings and I really adored this.

Lucy Foley books can be a bit cheesy at times but they’re right up my ally and this one comes with creepy folklore and posh resort white lotusyy vibes with some revenge sprinkled in. Very enjoyable

I've tried reading this twice now, and I don't care about any of it. It's not bad, I'm just apparently never in the mood for it.

I got 60-70 pages in and just do not care about any of the characters or plotline… the writing is also a bit eh to me

Very much a slow-burn book until you get to the last handful of chapters. I wasn't particularly thrilled throughout the book and the supposed supernatural nature of the birds left me less able to take the story seriously. It also gave me major hot fuzz vibes as a small culty group of people try to protect their time under their own 'laws'. It kept me interested enough to get to the end, a 2.5/5 for me, rounded up to a 3.
