Contains Spoilers.
I had originally seen this book as an add on for Book Of The Month subscription. I had it in my cart, but it sold out before my renewal date. So, with my case of FOMO, I snatched this up at the bookstore. So glad I did.
This is the story about Christopher, his mother, his friends, and the entire town. Christopher goes missing for 6 days and when he returns he's different. He's noticable smarter and has an imaginary friend. Now, I think we all know what is going to happen. You follow Christopher and the imaginary friend in their quest to defeat the hissing lady, who is supposedly evil. This whole ordeal turns the town into violent and sick human beings, while at the same time the imaginary world is so much worse.
This book was fantastic. While there was quite a few predictable parts (sort of hard not to be these days), it was still great. It was extremely hard for me to put down. I even wanted to risk going over my lunch break at work to read more. There were no boring parts. Even when it was a bit slower, it was filled with character development and relationships. It's been a long time since a book has made me cry like this one. It's been awhile since I found phrases that hit hard like this one. Do yourself a favor and read this book.
Happy Reading!

Don't You Know I Love You by Laura Brogan
I was given this book by edelweiss+ on behalf of the publisher.
Review contains spoilers.
The main character is Angelina, who is forced tomlive with her parents after a car accident. She is a struggling artist, and this highlighted throughout. It also focuses on her father, Jack, who has tasked himself with getting her a settlement from her accident.
You soon realize that Angelina does not get along with her parents. Though the reason is alluded to throughout the book, it's not evident until the very end. While her father seems overbearing in the beginning, you realize it's because he's abusive. He has been since she was a child and he coa child. So I definitely issue a warning to those who may find that kind of material sensitive.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. Do I think there could have been more? Definitely. It states that the story deals with her father obsessively trying to get the settlement, but it's only mentioned as an afterthought up until the end. Other than Angelina, I found the characters to be a bit lacking. However, I still felt it was a good read, and I suggest sticking it out until the end. That's when I really didn't want to put the book down. I think this author has talent and I can't wait to see what else she will come out with in the future.
Thank you for reading.
