Bunny – Mona Awad
I actually have a bit of difficulty writing a review on this one, this book was so weird. Samantha is a student at Warren, a university for the Arts. She is in her graduation year, so there is not much time left. One thing she hates about Warren? The bunnies; A clique of girls that call each other bunny and are way to optimistic for this world. But once she gets invited to a bunny event and is slowly brainwashed into becoming one of them, it just gets weirder and weirder.
My husband’s wife – Alice Feeney
The Queen of mindf*cks has done it again; writing a deliciously psychological book. When a woman goes for a run before, she goes to her first art exhibition and arrives home to get dressed, her key doesn’t fit in the lock, but how, why? When a woman claiming to be her opens the door, she thinks she might be losing the plot. Her husband also says he doesn’t know her which leaves one other person that can identify her, her daughter that hasn’t spoken in 10 years since the accident. When she’s there and her daughter whispers ‘You. Are. Not. My. Mother.’ She can’t believe her ears. The next day Eden goes missing.
The house Saphir – Marissa Meyer
The Fontaine sisters are frauds. Yes, their mother was a well-known witch; but they are not. Mallory has had a fascination for Monsieur Le Bleu; a wealthy man that killed his wives. His house actually stands in her hometown and has been long ago abandoned; but that isn’t where all the excitement is about. When a descendant from Le Bleu proposes a job, she can’t resist even though she doesn’t know how she can actually expel a dark spirit from an estate; but she’s a con artist, she can figure something out. This haunting is on a whole other level though and is quite dangerous.
Dead in the water – John Marrs
This was one of the hardest books to review without spoiling but I think I did a good job. Damon is in his twenties, has been divorced and isn’t where he wanted to be in live. Spicing things up by making a deal with Mel -his ex- to do something out of their comfort zone once a month. Out of his comfort zone is easy, make him swim in an ocean, but when Mel can’t see him anymore, she starts to panic. Did a rip current get him? Once she finally located him and swims him safely back to the shore, she starts CPR immediately. When he finally comes round his first question is ‘Did you see the boy?!’
