Is this a 500 page slow burn? Yes. Is it brilliant? Also yes. I never miss a Tana French book because she is SO GOOD. But I'm one of the people who thought The Witch Elm was unputdownable, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. If you are looking f ...more | |

I devoured this. The plot is compelling, the writing is crisp, and the heroine is messed up in the very best ways. (I think my fondness for messed-up heroines is pretty clear.) I loved the true-crime podcast aspect and the dry humor. Highly recommend ...more | |

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, dear appreciated Simone! May we all be blessed, happy, and at peace. May we all be in long-lived good health and may the prayers we have, be answered!
I am proud of the spotlight that free e-book campaigns of "The Broken Girls" has clearly shone on your work. However, I want you to know: my spouse happily invested in the full-priced hardcover as a gift for me! Our favourite authors are worth buying new and you know your non-horror paranormal mysteries thrill me. Your friend, Carolyn.

There are two authors who inspire me, because I love their writing style, the vivid depiction of their characters, and most of all, the originality of their plots (the most difficult thing to find nowadays). These authors are Simone St James and Stephen King.
So there you go, as a newbie writer myself, consider me jealous of your talent!! ;)
