After some thought I am going with 4.5. The premise of this book is something that has come up in conversation before…”would you want to know when you are going to die?” I wasn’t shocked with what some of the characters did with the knowledge…and some I was happily surprised with. I wasn’t satisfied with the end though…the characters stories wrapped up well…but not the overall plot.

So freaking creepy! This book has an excellent plot, a cast of characters you both love and hate, and some gory nasty scenes. My only issue is the end…nope…not enough.

This book was insane! So, so good! A unique perspective and definite creepy vibes. The end has you holding your breath (the one you know you are holding)!

Seriously creepy and unsettling. I enjoyed the setting and main characters. The tale of Maggie is sad and sets the perfect stage for a haunting story. Holding off on 5 stars due to the ending. Just not wrapped up well enough for me.

Super cute and entertaining. Elizabeth and Joyce were great! Wanted more about the members of the Thursday Murder Club…their enthusiasm to solve a real crime was infectious though.

This is a touching “what if” story….reminds me of the film “Sliding Doors”. Lots of fun characters and twists and turns. Only wish is gave more in Agnes’s section of the story!

This collection of short stories has a little of everything. Some are interesting, some are creepy, and some it you in the feels. Don’t have a favorite yet…I’ll see which one stays with me the longest.

I read this book because a student of mine has been asking me all year to! It did not disappoint. The world and magic was cool, the characters were well crafted, and the plot was slow to start and then ended with a WHAT?!?! moment. Will definitely be reading the rest of the trilogy. Gotta know what happens!
