In this book they stumble upon a Poltergeist in France, which makes for a whole new adventure!
Yet again I need to say I loved the worldbuilding, characters and connections between the main characters. I just love how this series takes place in different parts around the world, and the writer is able to convince you Cassidy is actually there. She makes the places and stories such an important part of these books and I love it! I would have loved to learn a little bit more about her parents, since they felt a bit absent in this story, but that's okay!
Instead of reading I listened to 'Tunnel of Bones' and I have to give compliments to the narrator Reba Buhr, she did so well with all the different accents and character voices....more
Rating: 4.25 I liked this Victoria Schwab book so much more than 'this Savage Song'. This book grabbed my attention and did not let go, I finished it Rating: 4.25 I liked this Victoria Schwab book so much more than 'this Savage Song'. This book grabbed my attention and did not let go, I finished it within no time. It has very likeable characters, the friendship between Cassidy and Jacob is so precious, and also very interesting world building. I also love the story revolving around her parents and their lifestories. I am excited to read Tunnel of Bones next!...more

This book had so much potential but the way it was executed just wasn't it for me. So many things were silly & didn't make sense and don't even get me started about the forced love triangle........more

The imperfect gRating: 4 At the beginning of this book I was afraid it wouldn't be original due to the 'cliche' relationships between the characters. The imperfect girl, the abusive father, the perfect sister, the dead mother. I just felt like I ended up in a story I had already read before. Luckily it took a turn for the better, the story was actually kinda original and I ended up liking it. It isn't one of my favorite books, but still pretty good....more

What was this ending? I am so frustrated. Up to 95% of this book it was a 5 star read for me, I was rethinking the moral dilemas, wondering what I would do, how I would handle it, how difficult it would be, what an emotional rollercoaster it would be. (view spoiler)[And then Anna just gets killed off, after everything she went through she just dies, her sister gets the part she always needed and is magically cured from her disease. Also magically her brother loses the urge to set schools on fire and becomes a police officer? I mean i am happy he turned his life around but becoming a police officer?? Really? This ending was so dissappointing. (hide spoiler)]...more

The story just felt very real to me, which made it so easy to relate to the main characters. (Lulu totally reminded me of someone I used to hang out with!) Also, I loved the narrator of this Audiobook....more

I heard a lot of people disliking this novella, but I don't agree. There is only so much you can do in 200 pages, and I think he did it really well. To be frank: this is clearly not a horror story and that makes it different from a lot of other works Stephen King has published. I would say this fits more into the Fantasy genre. This novella is more focused on personal relationships and sending a message and I believed it to be a very touching book.
Also, I really liked that the Audiobook was narrated by Stephen King himself. bonus points!...more
