The Guest List

Image
Author: Lucy Foley Genre: Mystery/Thriller Original publication date: Book description: Set on a remote island off the Irish coast, this is one guest list no one would want to be on, just as no one would have wanted an invitation to the New Year's Eve party in Foley's previous novel, The Hunting Party. Lives unravel amid the revelry on an eerie and remote island as family and friends assemble for a glam wedding in an updated Murder on the Orient Express. Each of the principal characters has a reason to want one of their number dead, there are old secrets, and one of them is murdered. Thoughts: We follow a few different people, it is set up in two timelines one of them is the day of arriving at the island, some of the guests are invited to stay in the island since the day before the event takes place.  The main character is the bride, as in any wedding. She is a very self-centered and egotistical woman. She is very focused on her image and what the event is going to give her in...

A monster calls

Image
Author: Patrick Ness Genre: Magical Realism Original publication date: May 2011 Book description:  An unflinching, darkly funny, and deeply moving story of a boy, his seriously ill mother, and an unexpected monstrous visitor. At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. Thoughts: So we have a boy Connor who is having a difficult time for several reasons. He feels isolated at school mainly because people do no treat him the same after his schoolmates found out about his mother's illness. He faces bullying, but everything is very different on his mind. Connor has closed off his mind a...
