"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear."-C.S. Lewis, A Grief ObservedI've decided to round my rating up a star, if for no reason other than I cannot stop thinking about this book and it got me out of a major reading slump. I wasn't as dazzled by The Silent Patient as most readers, yet as a debut it was undeniably entertaining and well crafted. The author has completely changed courses with his sophomore novel, The Maidens, and traded the world of flashy psychological thrillers for a l...
rtc 10/31i really really hated this tho sorry to spoil ya
Where do I begin.... It may only be April, but put this down as the biggest letdown of the year for me. This simply did not work for me almost from the get-go and features so many problems that I'm shocked this is coming from the same author as The Silent Patient. While this will no doubt be a bestseller due to TSP's momentum and fandom, proceed with caution and severely tempered expectations if you're diving into this one. The premise of a secret society of Maidens was intriguing. The intersect...
i see dark academia and i come running. this is one of my most anticipated releases for the year and im so relieved it didnt let me down. i honestly inhaled this.

Maybe a 2.5 / Some will enjoy it more than me, I'm sure. Thanks to the publisher for my advanced copy! OUT on June 15, 2021A handsome Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University forms a special group of students he calls "The Maidens". When one of the girls is murdered, all fingers point to Professor Fosca. This is Alex Michaelide's sophomore book, and I had some high expectations. I have to say this one never "took off" for me. A rather gruesome murder mystery, with dramatic characters that...
No thriller novel has a right to be this boring. I enjoyed The Silent Patient. God knows what happened with this book though. There was nothing compelling about this story even though it tried to be. There were no thrilling aspect. The mystery was boring. I could not care less that these women were dying nor did I want to figure out who the killer was.The characters in here felt contrived and stereotypical. Basically, you can tell a man wrote it. I did not understand what compelled the main char...
