We've leaned into a simple way of sort of explaining everything, but it's fine. Dwyer's writing is very, very readable, so I'm still enjoying it, even if it feels a tad convenient to have...well, things sort of pulled together this way!

^^^Me after all the value signaling is poured over me...

This is NOT going to end well. LOL

Def interested to see what the psychic will say, but also, kicking it back a bit, not crazy about how Lilly's husband treats her. She had a father, she doesn't need another one. Granted she is a 37-yo woman who is functioning at like a 22-yo level, but nevertheless, she is still his wife and deserves a little more respect and care. Hmph.

This is so readable and it's not driving me batty like a few other expectant, or hoping to soon be, mother books I've read over the past year or so...

I love meeting all the citizens of the 'Lot. Hearing their backstories, etc., as we begin to build this incredible sense of place. So good.

It's a little strange reading about little Hanna at 24-years old.

Very readable to start!

Meh, meh, meh, another annoyed mehhhhhhhh.....

It's impossible to be cuter than this 💕

Is Tony gonna date an actress 😄😂

What's gonna happen next with Lisander!? 👀🍿

Book Club discussion on this one tomorrow at 3 p.m. EST.
I know I will fly through it. I love Kingfisher's writing so much.
It's already magical and I've only read a chapter!

Meh...

Forevermore as Lady Macbeth!!
I'm not sure she'll be veiling herself anymore...

Oooo, we're filming something -- Jodie's Mom and daughter, Daisy, are applying to be extras! This is going to get wild. LOL

My 2nd Horror-Crime Thriller this week!
So far, so good. Lyons always does landscapes, like when people are on the run, really well!

More deserted island please, less background...

Every time a place I know is mentioned, or I can picture a landmark or business, it feels like a small victory. LOL

This is going to break my heart, isn't it?
Also, why have I never read from this author before?

This is SOOOOOOOOOO good!
Crime Horror fans pay attention. You don't want to miss this one!

I'm so happy to be rereading this!!!

It's been 37-years since I last read it. Hahaha, perhaps I will discover some new things in the story...I think so. LOL

I wish I knew a bit more about the state of our world at the time this story is set. It's obviously near future, and a lot of geopolitical things have changed, but I wish I knew how it got to that point. Maybe by having some mixed media throughout would have been helpful. It seems confusing even though it doesn't need to be because it lacks context...

All these provisions? I sus a set-up even more now!

Intrigued. Are they vampires? No way, right?

From I wanna see the get drenched with the sprinklers, to burn it all down...now that's escalation!

I'm actually not sure how this is going to wrap up?
I'm not even sure what ultimate conclusion I'm hoping for, I mean besides Hester and Cordelia living happily ever after...
