Still worth a look if you're a fan of creeping dread.

The world’s a mess and Expedition 33 devoured my reading hours. But hey, still read some bangers. The Crimson Fire is the book of the month for sure 🔥01 May 2025 16:52 +0000at://did:plc:pdxf5sp4it2ge6navxd2bvq3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lo4rh7lebc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/iremslibrary.bsky.social/post/3lnzsvkdlx42xJust finished @monteroauthor.bsky.social 's The Crimson Fire and damn what a debut.

Hayes book that didn’t work for me. It didn’t come close to matching the magic of Never Die and even as an audiobook, I had to push myself to finish. I’ll definitely keep going with the series, but this one let me down. #booksky24 Apr 2025 12:27 +0000at://did:plc:pdxf5sp4it2ge6navxd2bvq3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnkpfdgvjk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/iremslibrary.bsky.social/post/3ln67btpynk2xSlowly making my way through The Crimson Fire and it already punches hard and there are gods involved.

It is eerie, nostalgic, and unexpectedly emotional. A classic horror setup turns into a haunting look at friendship, regret, and the past we can’t escape. Creepy and gripping.

While the world, magic, and themes are fascinating, its brevity limits depth. The family & conflicts feel underdeveloped, leaving the story unsatisfying overall.26 Jan 2025 11:44 +0000at://did:plc:pdxf5sp4it2ge6navxd2bvq3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgndx4ra2s2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/iremslibrary.bsky.social/post/3lci6s2b2u22vUnfortunately, Fredrik Backman's The Answer is No wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I liked Lucas because he’s just like me—living his own life, staying out of everyone’s way, and wanting others to do the same. But of course, people don’t leave him alone. It’s a story about neighbors/apartment life. 3⭐04 Dec 2024 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:pdxf5sp4it2ge6navxd2bvq3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lci6s2b2u22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/iremslibrary.bsky.social/post/3lbrnttj2y22uNorth American Lake Monsters is haunting and beautifully crafted.
