That was a surprisingly good YA Thriller! Did not expect to like this so much. I was never really on the edge of my seat but the tension was always there and in the end I was really happy with the twists and outcome.

Man, I wished I liked this more.
Starting with the things I enjoyed: I really liked the writing, and I marked a lot of quotes. The last 20% somewhat redeemed the book for me. That said, up until about 70–80%, I really didn’t get the hype. I’m an empathetic person and I understand why Ove was the way he was, but man, he really got on my nerves. I think it’s a me problem, because I really can’t stand mean people who are just shitty to everyone even as book characters. As I already said, I get it and I felt sorry for him, but it’s just not what I enjoy reading about. I really liked the ending, but overall it was a bit of a struggle for me to get through the book.

Der Geisterwald: Ein Gothic-Thriller (German Edition)

Das war ganz zauberhaft! Vor allem der Anfang hat mich direkt gecatched. Dass das Hörbuch so fantastisch von Dirk Bach gelesen wurde, hat dem Ganzen noch mehr Zauber verliehen. Ich muss aber sagen, dass es mir lieber gewesen wäre, wenn es nur 8 1/2 Leben gewesen wären: Es war mir einfach zu lang. Auch wenn jedes Leben eine ganz tolle Geschichte war, war’s mir einfach ein bisschen zu viel. Ich habe jetzt aber Zarmonien-Blut geleckt und es wird sicher nicht das letzte Buch von Moers für mich sein. ❤️
