This was not at all the story I was expecting from the synopsis. I found myself wanting to skim by the end. It was all just a little underwhelming to me.

ARC Review: Middletide by Sarah Crouch – Mystery/Thriller
It’s heavy, dark, emotional, and slow-burn. It reads like a blend of literary, mystery, and romance. Something about this one really stuck with me after reading it.
ARC Review: The Main Character by Jaclyn Goldis – Mystery/Thriller
This is a very slow-build, character-driven story. There’s generational trauma, family drama, and relationship drama. The story has a heavy emotional undertone and can be quite thought-provoking at times.
ARC Review: The Gathering by C.J. Tudor – Horror
It just wasn’t good for me. I’m usually so gripped and invested in her stories, this was a definite miss for me and I hate that, but I have to be honest. Especially after absolutely loving The Drift, I’m so disappointed.
