Today I review an arc: The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Today I review an arc: The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz. This one comes out May 31st.  Many thanks to the publisher @celadonbooks for sending me a copy via @bookishfirst .

Book Description:

The Latecomer follows the story of the wealthy, New York City-based Oppenheimer family, from the first meeting of parents Salo and Johanna, under tragic circumstances, to their triplets born during the early days of IVF. As children, the three siblings – Harrison, Lewyn, and Sally – feel no strong familial bond and cannot wait to go their separate ways, even as their father becomes more distanced and their mother more desperate. When the triplets leave for college, Johanna, faced with being truly alone, makes the decision to have a fourth child. What role will the “latecomer” play in this fractured family?

A complex novel that builds slowly and deliberately, The Latecomer touches on the topics of grief and guilt, generational trauma, privilege and race, traditions and religion, and family dynamics. It is a profound and witty family story from an accomplished author, known for the depth of her character studies, expertly woven storylines, and plot twists.

Today I review The School for Good Mothers by Jess Today I review The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan. This dystopian / speculative fiction is very thought provoking and will stay with you for a while  after you read it. But you can't say that you enjoyed it! Bravo to Chan for accomplishing what she set out to do!

See my linktree for the link to the review on my site.

Book Description:

Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn’t have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents’ sacrifices. What’s worse is she can’t persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with their angelic daughter Harriet does Frida finally feel she’s attained the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she’s just enough.

Until Frida has a horrible day.

The state has its eyes on mothers like Frida — ones who check their phones while their kids are on the playground; who let their children walk home alone; in other words, mothers who only have one lapse of judgement. Now, a host of government officials will determine if Frida is a candidate for a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure of a mother’s devotion. Faced with the possibility of losing Harriet, Frida must prove that she can live up to the standards set for mothers — that she can learn to be good.

This propulsive, witty page-turner explores the perils of “perfect” upper-middle-class parenting, the violence enacted upon women by the state and each other, and the boundless love a mother has for her daughter.

Buy it now: https://www.amazon.com/Priestess-Sian-B.../dp/B09WKTWTG2

Book Description: 

Magic, Voodoo, and Chaos—how much can you take before you crack?

Shocked by the sudden death of her parents, Chantal’s world crumbles. When she discovers that she was adopted and her parents faked her birth certificate, she’s distraught. Searching for answers, though, plunges her world into further chaos, as she keeps seeing a top hat-wearing man who seems to be everywhere she goes and dreams that are so horrific, they traumatize her.

The more Chantal learns, the stranger her world becomes, and the stronger the visions become.

Chantal’s husband stands by her side as she unravels the mysteries, but how much can he take before it’s too much? Is the vision of her mother trying to reach out to her or trying to kill her? Chantal plunges into the world of magic and Voodoo to discover a past that might potentially be too strong to resist. Who holds all the answers?

Only the Voodoo priestess knows.

Fans of dark supernatural horror will enjoy this graphic story.

Today, on Friday the 13th, Kim reviews and gives 5 Today, on Friday the 13th, Kim reviews and gives 5 stars to While You Sleep by Caillou Pettis! 

See my linktree for the link to the review on my site.

Book Description:

Welcome to the city of Newryst - one of the most terrifying places known to mankind. On the surface, it seems to be a bustling city full of big dreams and hopeful ambitions, but upon closer inspection, it’s actually the focal point of some of the most horrifying and unexplainable cases ever documented.

In this collection, you’ll read ten pulse-pounding tales. An ordinary man experiences the most extreme form of sleep paralysis ever documented. A young boy wakes up in an unfamiliar room and must do everything it takes to escape. An antique store owner comes into possession of a mysterious music box with a cursed backstory. A man continuously hears clicking noises coming from deep inside his walls. Two radio hosts receive unsettling news while broadcasting live on air.

What do all of these stories have in common? They all occur in the city of Newryst. Take a journey into the mind of author Caillou Pettis as he walks you through all of the most disturbing events throughout the history of Newryst.
