32% (view spoiler)[Not actually sure at this point if she did make her kidnapping up or not. So many things are making it like it never happened to her. But I still don’t think people treating her like they do is wrong. Her aunt especially. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

68% (view spoiler)[I’m glad she now has Garrett on her side. Hope he’s trustworthy. (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

80% (view spoiler)[I can’t believe she went all the way to Maine. Can’t wait to learn what’s really going on. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[This was pretty good. I’m glad she’s vindicated and everyone hopefully feels like shit who mocked and ignored her. Didn’t expect garret to be her one friend and ally. I am left with questions though and that’s how much did the villain manipulate and how much was actually janes imagination like the breaking of her tooth? In the end I’m glad she feels safe now that he basically told her their time is done, third times the charm! However while she feels safe by this, personally I’d be hiring personal security at this point lol. Ok read. Been awhile since I read this author wasn’t sure what to expect. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I'm hoping to start this in the next couple days!

[Kelly]

I honestly don't know when I'm going to be able to read this :/

It's okay. I'm still working on September buddy reads and if you can't get to this in October no worries

It wasn’t bad but you certainly won’t be missing much if you guys hold off on this one!! It was about as exciting as the cover 😐😂 Just my two cents lol

[Kelly]

lol well I have an arc so I have to read it ^^

[Aly]

I do like Stolarz, especially her Blue For Nightmares series. I had a productive weekend so we'll see

[Aly]

25% (view spoiler)[ This is crazy! I'm going to believe her unless it's proven false, but I can see where others doubt. There's no evidence and she has a history of trauma. How awful to go through that and have no one believe you? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[So many things about her kidnapping are weird and don't make sense. I still believe she was taken, but I wonder if some of it was hallucinations. And Peyton is a lying liar who lies and I don't trust her at all (hide spoiler)]
76% (view spoiler)[ No, don't go to Maine. What a terrible idea.
I understand her aunt a bit but I'm mad that she doesn't try harder and when Terra tried to spend time together she blew her off (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Oh wow. Her old friend did all that to her for a story! That was nuts and it's super scary that he's still out there. I'm glad she has Garrett at least. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I liked this a lot! Definitely similar to Jane Anonymous but it kept me guessing for sure.

ALY WHY ARE YOU SO AHEAD OF ME.

Psst.. I think she's a witch

Definitely think so.

[Aly]

Luckily the past few books have been short! But I wouldn't mind being a book witch....

[Alaina]

ugh, short books.. I somehow pick the long ones to dive into (at least audio wise) today lol

[Aly]

City of Heavenly Fire took forever

[Alaina]

UGHHHHHHHHH I NEED TO GET INTO THE AUDIO OF THAT TOO. AND THE SECOND BONE WITCH..

[Aly]

The Bone Witch audios are on the new Audible Plus catalog

[Elizabeth]

20% (view spoiler)[ It's really sad that she's treated like a spectacle, a liar, or someone in need of help because she has "problems." I could not imagine how much it made her question her experience. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Elizabeth wrote: "20% [spoilers removed]"

Yes! (view spoiler)[ And her own aunt, the only family she has left, doesn't believe her which is awful (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "The Bone Witch audios are on the new Audible Plus catalog"

WAIT REALLY? I got them on OverDrive but if they are on audible they will go by way faster

[Aly]

Yes!!

[Alaina]

Ch 15: (view spoiler)[I like the idea of this chat room being a safe space for everyone who has been through a similar situation but I'm mad that there's so mean sleazy ass freaking people out in the world as well. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 30: (view spoiler)[Oh man, I get that Terra is hurt but I'm also really worried about the other girl. I'm hoping she tells someone and that they believe her. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 45: (view spoiler)[Yes, go to maine and ignore everyone and be super vague about the details. Sounds like a GREAT idea. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[My brain hurts so much because of what went down in this book. I'm happy that Garret stuck by her side. He was just a great friend to her. Also, screw everyone else that didn't believe her or gave her shit. (hide spoiler)]

Ugh, I was smacking my head like WHY? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

[Kelly]

25% - (view spoiler)[Reading about people who doesn't believe she was abducted and make her feel crazy makes me so angry... ugh, and he's probably waiting to do it again. (hide spoiler)]
50% - (view spoiler)[I pretty much hate everyone. I'm worried about Peyton. (hide spoiler)]
75% - (view spoiler)[Can the police be any more unhelpful? these characters are making me so mad!! (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[You know, my first reaction when the reveal happened was "who the hell is Charley?!" lol he was mentioned before but I didn't notice him. I suspected Peyton didn't exist and that he was catfishing but I'm kind of sad that her friend wasn't real. I'm glad she got out but he did too so it's a mixed feeling as he might do it again to someone else. (hide spoiler)]

I agree(view spoiler)[ that's absolutely horrible. How do you NOT believe her?

and I didn't read the first book, so not sure how secure this anonymous site is but I'm a bit worried about these additional 3 people constantly being on.... (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

Aly wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]..."

OMG YES(view spoiler)[ I completely agree with this. I don't trust Peyton as far as I can throw her! So sketchy (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 45: [spoilers removed]"

Big sigh...(view spoiler)[ why on why would you go and be all vague about it?!?! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

Kelly wrote: "Finished - [spoilers removed]"

ha! this was exactly my reaction too(view spoiler)[ Who the heck is that?! I too thought Peyton was catfishing at best, dangerous at worst.....
Phew, this one was good! (hide spoiler)]
