I love when you and Ashlynn do this together! I would love to see more of them. So I read The House Across the Lake and I felt the paranormal twist was too weird for me and trust me I love horror but I felt it kind of took away from a good thriller. I think if he kept it a thriller all the way through I think I would have liked it more. I think the paranormal aspect of it was just kind of thrown in there. But overall I thought it was a decent book. I do highly recommend reading The Only One Left by Riley Sager as that’s my all time favorite book now. I think you would enjoy it.

I agree, the twist, though I stare sting and made for decent tension, was a bit too much. I don’t mind genres being merged, but it could’ve been done differently without taking away from the thriller aspect!

Read the only one left together!!

I think you hit the nail on the head with how you described the second half of the Hazel Wood. I felt like it was Alice In Wonderland on 10 times the acid and with so much more horror. It’s extremely trippy/psychedelic vibes, which I absolutely hate. I’ve never understood the appeal of that. It was very disappointing because I loved the first half of the book, but then it plummeted and I really struggled to get through it. I didn’t even read the short stories at the end because by the time I finished the actual book I was just so exhausted from reading it and couldn’t wait to be done with it. If y’all liked it, though, there is a second one!! I read my first Riley Sager book this year and I looooved it. I really need to read The House Across The Lake, I’ve heard so many good things about it from so many people. One of the books I’m in the middle of reading right now is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. I was so excited to get it because I thought I would love it. I’ve been working my way through it for months now, I just can’t seem to stay interested in it long enough to get very far when I pick it up. I’m looking forward to watching Ashlynn’s video next to see what she thinks about it and figure out if there might be hope for it or if I need to DNF it. *** coming back to edit this because I just saw that she didn’t get that book as one of hers, maybe next time! 😂 I need someone to tell me if it’s worth sticking it through to the end or not.

@iangubeli

8 ай бұрын

I didn’t read the short stories at the end either😂 I was kind of done with the book by that point, I really just wanted it to be over so I could move on. I have had Addie Larue on my TBR for a while. I’ll attempt it for you so I can tell you if it’s worth it! I actually have been trying to read A Darker Shade of Magic from the same author and I find myself in the same dilemma. I want to read it, but I want to read other things more. I have been trudging through it head and there with little to no results.

I'm gonna need a tandem vlog reading the only one left now! Video idea: (Maybe you guys read & record your reactions separately then at the end of the book you can do a spoiler discussion section like debriefing all that happened since you weren't able to tell each other in the moment but all you heard were like gasps and stuff then and you reveal your rating to each other!
