Reading before the movie comes out📖

The Butcher

Jennifer Hillier

A rash of grisly serial murders plagued Seattle until the infamous "Beacon Hill Butcher" was finally hunted down and killed by police chief Edward Shank in 1985. Now, some thirty years later, Shank, retired and widowed, is giving up his large rambling Victorian house to his grandson Matt, whom he helped raise. Settling back into his childhood home and doing some renovations in the backyard to make the house feel like his own, Matt, a young up-and-coming chef and restaurateur, stumbles upon a locked crate he’s never seen before. Curious, he picks the padlock and makes a discovery so gruesome it will forever haunt him… Faced with this deep dark family secret, Matt must decide whether to keep what he knows buried in the past, go to the police, or take matters into his own hands. Meanwhile Matt’s girlfriend, Sam, has always suspected that her mother was murdered by the Beacon Hill Butcher—two years after the supposed Butcher was gunned down. As she pursues leads that will prove her right, Sam heads right into the path of Matt’s terrible secret.

Alchemy of Secrets

Stephanie Garber

It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most students believe the Professor’s stories are just fiction. There isn’t a man in Hollywood who you can call to find out the time you’ll die. There’s not a haunted hotel bar in Los Angeles that the devil likes to frequent. There’s no such thing as magic. But . . . most students don’t have the same tragic past as Holland St. James. Now a graduate student, Holland is hoping to use her thesis to rewrite her past by proving that some of the most infamous deaths in old Hollywood were actually murders committed by the devil. She has no idea that this quest will lead her into a deadly world of century-old secrets and unimaginable lies and onto the path of two very dangerous men, both of whom are willing to do whatever it takes to find a magic that will either forever alter Holland’s life or completely destroy it.

Tentative

What's a book you keep putting off because something about it makes you tentative to start?

Your Most Hated Books

Sure, it's nice to find people with similar taste in books, and PageBound, due to the Favourits List on users' profiles, is amazing for that. But I fear I am a hater at heart, it's just so much fun. Also, I've found that most people (me included) find it easier to pinpoint what they dislike about a book. And sometime, things people hate about a book is exactly what I like. So I would love to hear your (preferably controversial) books you hate and why. I'll start (feel free to disagree and change my mind but please don't lynch me, though!) (Friendly reminder that you can hate a book but shouldn't shame people who enjoy them or the authors - except if it's people like J.K. Rowling, of course. Feel free to shame her) - One Dark Window because (to keep this spoiler free) the story more or less ends where it started. And it read like a first draft to me. But mostly because I wanted to bang my head against the wall because of how often I had to read how Ravyn's callused fingers caught on clothes/skin/hair. and, probably more controversially - A Little Life because (1) I'm sick of reading about tragic queer characters (2) I find it extremly over the top just how much trauma the MC went trough (3) I'm sick of books being praised as a literary masterpiece when they really are just traumatic (4) I habe a huge issue with the author's statement that she basically just tried to make her MC suffer as much as possible
