I had started this but was cut short by a kidney stone, and wasn't in the right frame of mind to read it, so up for it, the first 20% was good, very readable.

Awesome! I'll grab my copy after work today and can't wait to fire this up in December :-)

[WendyB , Witchy Woman]

Got a copy of this for my birthday this year. Glad I didn't get around to it yet so I can read it with HA.
Some of Malfi's books have been my favs and I've heard lots of good things about this one.

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

I have it on Hoopla!

[Andrew]

I am in for this one! Will be my first Malfi book.

[Lenore]

I got my book ready, first time reading thsi author. I just don't like Stephen King's novels, I hope this one is nice!

[destiny ♡]

I picked this up a few months ago and keep meaning to continue it, so this is great motivation to finish it! :D

[Anika]

This is going to be my first group read on Goodreads and also my first Malfi book. Very excited!

[Rachel]

just put in my hold at the library. hope it comes in on time! :D

[Stephanie]

Well shoot, there’s a 12 week wait at my library! Who are all the Portland people putting holds on this book? 😄

[Kasia]

If you have Scribd the audiobook is on there.

[Lisa]

Hoopla has the audiobook as well.

That's good to know, thanks, the voice part is like half the experience.

[Krystal]

I just finished it! That was a really good book! Can’t wait to discuss it.

[inciminci]

I'm in too, got my copy and I'll start reading today.

[Alan]

This remains THE best book I've read this year, and IMO Malfi's most incredible novel yet. Hope you all enjoy it as much. (Or there shall be bannings galore heh heh heh)

[inciminci]

@Alan, do you mean (view spoiler)[This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno (hide spoiler)]?

(view spoiler)[ I was rather surprised by the similarities, it's almost as if two different authors writing the same book. I hope this one goes in a different direction, (hide spoiler)] I enjoy reading it so far.

edit - Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote!!
It reminded me of another book I've read this year and I was a little taken aback by how much this book resembles it.

[Latasha]

Wow Alan! That sounds great! I can’t wait til December to start this one!

[WendyB , Witchy Woman]

heehee and haha... I haven't read a single page yet but strangely I think it may be the next great American novel! ;p

[Kasia]

How did you read it Alan, ebook? I can't decide between audiobook or kindle version.,, oh shoot I see that the paperback on Amazon is on that "Savings Get 3 for the price of 2" now I'm tempted and this way I get 2 more books haha.

I don't do audiobooks. I was lucky enough to get an ARC from NetGalley for it.

I'm so here for it!
