I can totally see how Spirited Away was inspired by this story. I loved how heartfelt and sweet it was, a great reminder to work hard, be and be kind and open to new experiences and things. Great Libby Reads choice with well done audio.

Wow, this was a very surprising book. It was not the story I thought it was going to be- but maybe the story I needed. There were a lot of personal aspects to this story that really resonated with me. This book is full of generational trauma, and is like the "bad seed" trope reimagined with very sinister intent.
More words: female rage, parental horror, original, darkly humorous at times, intense psychological dread, very uncomfortable, conversational voice which is calming and unsettling. Very well done audio.Wow, this was a very surprising book. It was not the story I thought it was going to be- but maybe the story I needed.

I really enjoyed this tense story. At first I was thrown off by the obvious UK slangs in an "American" set story but the action, violence, and terror soon made me forget all about that. I was completely enthralled with the story and could not stop listening. I dare anyone to listen to this audiobook while hiking alone!I really enjoyed this tense story.

Oh my. This was a dark and twisted fairy tale not for the faint of heart. I think my heart was either in my throat or my stomach depending on where in the book I was but either way it was a trip! After I read the last sentence I felt like I could breathe again. Extremely well written and original as LaValle's work usually is.Oh my.

I'm left a little confused but also I liked it? As another Goodreads reviewer described "Like if the Brothers Grimm, Crimson Peak, The Secret Garden, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty & the Beast were all mashed together into a Feverish Sexy Gothic Fairytale inside the set of the ballroom scene from Labyrinth." and I found that to be a very accurate description. Certainly it had major fever dream vibes. Romantic, repulsive, gorgeous, carnal, disorienting.I'm left a little confused but also I liked it?

A great sequel! Just as tense and atmospheric as the first and I really liked the progression of their relationships. The audio was well done and enjoyable to listen to.

Shari Lapena does it again. I really went back and forth the whole way through with my guesses and predictions. While not an overly original plot it was well executed in a way that kept me quite entertained. Good audio.

This was a very fun, atmospheric haunted house story. It was full of all the tropes but I felt it was done very well and didn't feel overdone. I was pretty invested in all the characters. It really gave 'The Haunting' (Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones 1999 cult classic) vibes in a great way.This was a very fun, atmospheric haunted house story.
