I my have forgotten a book at work and somehow ended up with another book that fits the book bingo. This book falls in the "Published in 2025" square. I just so happen to be walking by the Lucky Day bookshelf and saw this book. Of course, knowing that this book literally just came out a few weeks ago, I grabbed it. Also this would be my first Grady Hendrix book. I've heard good things about this author and I do like the spooky stuff. I don't know how spooky this book is because I didn't read what it was about or any reviews. I like to be surprised by going into a book blind. I can't wait to read this book. I've only read a few pages and all I know so far is that this girl gets pregnant. Her family sees it as a disgrace and sends her to a home for wayward girls. That is all I know. She literally just arrived at the Home before I had to stop reading and get back to work. But I am curious on what this book holds.

I have come to the conclusion that Grady Hendrix is not for me. As much as I wanted to read this book, I just couldn't. I don't feel right rating this book because I only got a third of the way through the book before it was like pulling teeth to read. Maybe I'll try again at a later time, but for now, the book goes back. I gave it a try and I can be happy for that. I'm just not clicking with the author's style or their characters. I feel bad because I don't want my opinion to deter you from discovering this book. It just isn't for me. I thought it would fit my vibes because I like spooky and I like anything out of the norm. But the book is like a slow burn for me and I don't like slow burn books. You can blame my ADHD for that because if a book doesn't grasp me in the first 25% of the book, I get bored and don't want to read. But feel free to check out this book. I'm sure Grady Hendrix is a great writer. They are just not for me.
