 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review. Today we are talking about Araminta, if I'm saying your name wrong, I apologize. Araminta Hall, her book Our Kind of Cruelty. I bought this book straight up, no BS, I bought this book for the cover. It's a fantastic cover and as you can see there's some, it breaks through the lettering and then it wraps all the way around and it's actually a necklace. I don't know what these chords were but I got this through Book of the Month Club and I wish just like what happened with Jasmine Ward's Sing Unburied Sing, I wish I had bought this first edition because this is one I want to add to my collection. But I don't want this Book of Month thing up here. This book's terrific. It's easily in the running for Book of the Year for me. Right now I'm pretty sure it will end up Book of the Year unless I get to the end of the year and the outsider takes it, the outsider by Stephen King. But this one, what I appreciated the most about this one is it kind of turns the whole psychological thriller genre against itself. There are some things that you are going to expect to happen in this book just given the tropes of the genre. You are going to go into this expecting one thing, maybe even a Jillian Flynn kind of vibe to it. You are going to go into it thinking these things and you are probably going to have some bad thoughts towards some characters who aren't necessarily bad. I'm trying real hard not to spoil it but a lot of what I want to say is spoilers. If you don't mind more of a spoiler-rific review then I have my Goodreads review down there in the doobly-doo. Click on that and go read my thoughts. I don't flat out spoil the book but I do believe that you want to go on this journey yourself. I spoke with Erin Mintzahal on Twitter. I spoke to her husband first actually because I tweeted my Goodreads stuff tweets out when I post my review and her husband said I nailed her intentions in the book in the review, the intentions she had when she wrote this book. And then she popped up and thanked me for the review also and said that I figured out what she was going for. So that made me very happy because I'm not always right. But the message here is terrific. It's great. But it will make you feel it will make you look deeper at yourself and at the type of fan that you are of certain characters in the genre or the storylines that have become so popular nowadays in psychological thrillers especially with books like You by Carolina Katniss. Now I'm a huge fan of Caroline. I'm a huge fan but this book is like the the anti-you. It's going to be compared to you for probably for as long as time but it is not. I cannot express how much can I express well enough how well this book stands alone and is not just another psychostalker like a likable psychostalker book. It's not that book. And by the end of it you'll understand more about why. But if you watch this, thank you so much for writing this book. It was terrific. It was a fantastic experience. Until next time, I have been E, you have been new. This has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.
