That was a really good idea! To me, the books didn’t get any better!
Hahaha, they are! They did so many stupid things that it really makes you wonder about them. πŸ˜›

I just read the first two books and I was so disappointed by the second one, I just stopped the series altogether haha. AND YES to Gossip Girl, these characters are so so easy to love to hate, I SO AGREE with that statement hahaha πŸ™‚

I really needed to know what everyone was so excited about.

Uuuh, I love Gossip Girl (the TV show), I was so obsessed over it. Maybe I should try the books now? πŸ˜€

I’m not sure, thrillers and crime novels are also pretty popular and seem to sell well, so I don’t really know what their intentions were!

If you do any part of the tag, tag me I’d love to read your answers!
I’ve never heard of the book, but that’s really unfortunate that the blurb and the actual story were completely different! I wonder why the publisher thought to promote it as such? Did they think they’d get more sales, like that’s so crazy!

They were a weird time for books, but I was all about it though, haha!

HA! Thanks, I don’t know I just find that sometimes a synopsis can ruin the story so I don’t bother; makes for better surprise attack when I don’t see things coming!

I am SO with you on GG, THE worst, yet I still kept reading πŸ˜‚

WHAT?!?!?! HOW?!?!?! WHY?!?!?! UGH!

THE 2000S WERE A WEIRD TIME FOR BOOKS, especially vampire lit? I feel like zombie lit also got weird around that time.

I’m impressed that you go into books with no knowledge! You’re a brave soul!

The Gossip Girl characters were SO TRASH. And YET I KEPT READING.

I just finished a Me Too anthology that used “Not Like the Other Girls” and I was APPALLED. Could we NOT??

I wrote a blog post about it, it made me so cross! (https://readandreview2016.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/book-review-the-house/)

Anyway, the blurb and cover and everything about this book made it sound like a spooky haunted house novel. I’m a fan of horror and ghost stories, so I was intrigued (naturally). Then, I read it, and it starts to build-up these ideas of the paranormal, and then it “plot twists” into just an average, run-of-the-mill crime / thriller. However, everything had been designed to make it look like the next best ghost story – even the cover featured reviews of other authors saying it was the “most terrifying book” they’d ever read, and so on.
