BAH! HUMBUG!
haha. I really, really liked this book. It's definitely the only classic i've read in one sitting. It's only about a 100 pages long, so you should definitely check this off your tbr, as soon as you can. Every book I've read with a Christmas theme, talks about a Christmas carol by Charles dickens and now i can finally say i've read it. It's a heartwarming story that reminds us to be grateful and happy and spreads the message of compassion & humility.I listened to the audiobook simultaneously here: https://youtu.be/ZmOioOyFMRk and the voice modulations were my favourite thing ever. The narrator does a great job at Scrooge's voice and had me laughing at his dialogue in the beginning. The message conveyed is as beautiful as the story itself and as you travel with the spirits of the Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas yet to come, smile and be grateful for everything you have:)

These books are so good T_T. I need to know what the author's putting in them because, once i start reading, it's all i do. I physically cannot stop.
one star less simply because the cult and the themes in the last 2 books are not my favourite genre of crime. i love the usual murder mysteries, serial killers etc etc. but once it gets religious/ritualistic, i seem to lose interest. Overall, good characterisation, phenomenal writing; the first 2 books were my absolute favourites. While the storyline of 3 & 4, isn't something I'd usually read, I'm still super attached to the characters and upset that the series is almost over.
On to the novella now (knowing that it's all I'm going to do for the rest of the day) sigh

An emotion reader, a deception specialist, a statistician who could not be allowed to ingest coffee, and two profilers who can crawl into the heads of killers
did not expect a YA crime novel to hook me in
YA mystery is literally THE childhood genre right up there with YA dystopian.
nostalgia
transported back in time
very good pacing, writing and short chapters
crafted perfectly
“Personally, I wouldn't mind taking out an ad in the paper or hiring a skywriter to announce that he and Locke were outsmarted by three bored teenagers.”
found family
The love triangle is SO 2015.
BUT I ABSOLUTELY ATE IT UP.
Michael had never made any secret of the fact that he was pursuing me. Dean had fought any attraction he felt for me every step of the way.
