Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments In what is possibly a first for me, I loved the writing more than the story in Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.

Something Wicked This Way Comes (Green Town, #2) by Ray Bradbury

I mean, the story was pretty decent and super creepy but I just can't get this writing style out of my head!

Here's my review:

Brooke - One Woman's Brief Book Reviews (onewomansbbr) | 751 comments Have just posted my review for Arcadia by Di Morrissey Arcadia by Aussie Author Di Morrissey - not her best in my opinion but still enjoyable :)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments Thanks to PattyMacDotComma!!!

A new series, only available on kindle, (and anyone who knows me will know I prefer print-on-paper) but so addictive that I'm hooked. I just finished Lying and Dying by British author Graham Brack and I would say it is every bit as entertaining as Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series. I see the first three books are on special on Amazon... I will definitely be reading them.
5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I've always enjoyed Maggie O'Farrell's mysterious stories, but I'd never read her debut After You'd Gone until now. Glad I found it! Good book and well worth a read.
