Stranger in the Woods by Kiersten Modglin, which is supposed to be a mystery/thriller type thing but so far all that's happened is the MC inviting a strange man she met approximately 5 minutes ago to move in with her and then having sex with him even though she's supposedly still devastated about her murdered husband (and musing about how the new guy is better in bed than her dead husband). It's...not great.

Also, House in the Cerulean Sea because I've heard over and over and over and over that it's pretty much the best thing ever and it's...ok, I guess? I mean, it's entertaining, and I guess it's decent enough, but maybe there was just too much hype, IDK. I'm also starting to think I just don't love the author because this is my third book of his and I haven't been particularly impressed with any of them.

I have heard simultaneously bad and great things about HitCS and I will probably not read it because to be honest, the critiques seem to outweigh the hype for me.

Right now I'm not sure if I'd recommend it or not, honestly. I'm at 34% and I just really don't have much of an opinion on it either way. Obviously lots of people like it so maybe I'm missing something, but it's just kind of...there. That probably doesn't make any sense, but I'm not sure how else to describe it.

I read Under the Whispering Door by the same author pretty soon after it came out so I hadn't really heard anything about it, but I've heard a bunch of good things since, and I just really don't agree with them. So far this is a bit better than that one, but it hasn't gotten to the romance yet and based on the other two books, I just don't think I like the way the author writes romances.

TJ Klune's writing style is... ...interesting. Some of his earlier works seemed like a ninth-grader wrote them. The Green Creek series was particularly rough to get through. Oddly enough, though, it worked for his fantasy-comedy book series, Tales From Verania. But everything else? Just couldn't make it through.

I'm going to finish it because I like to finish things unless they're just awful, and this isn't, but...unless the last 2/3 of it completely blow me away, I think it's going to be my last book of his. I think his stuff just isn't for me.
