Finished and it was a hot mess. Barely 2-stars.
I also listened to and it didn't really connect for me. So this is more like 2.5-3stars. Finished and it was like 3.5stars (generously given to the writer of my Matt and Evan). This story was underdeveloped and really predictable.
Finished . It was like a bookleg Bridget Jones story. It would make an amusing movie, but I needed something more funny than quirky.
was the best of the bunch. 4-stars

Dracula - Bram Stoker – 5*****
If you’ve seen any of the movies, you know the basic plot, but the original novel is so much more! To begin there is the typical Victorian theme of strong men coming to the rescue of pure damsel in distress. However, Stoker turns the tables a bit when he gives Mina the intelligence, foresight and courage to fight the evil forces in her own way. The novel is wonderfully atmospheric; time and again Stoker puts the reader smack dab in the middle of the scenes.

In the Woods - Tana French – 4****
This is a stunning debut. Gripping and suspenseful, with many twists and turns. I guessed the culprit fairly early on, but was still enthralled by the psychology of the characters – whether police, victims or perpetrator.
