Januar og februar er som regel rolige måneder da jeg kan ta igjen bøker jeg ikke rakk i fjor, og litt eldre bøker. Er jo en tregost, men er heller ikke en person som leser hver ledige stund når jeg kan leses hele dagen. Liker å dele opp dagene med forskjellige hobbyer. Orker ikke å la lesingen og bøkene styre meg.
True Crime: Har lest to bøker av henne tidligere: Elskede barn og Perfect Day. Jeg likte Elskede barn, men ikke Perfect Day, så dette blir en slags avgjørende bok om jeg skal fortsette å lese bøkene hennes eller ikke.

True crime - hva gjør menneske til morder er en samling rørende, rystende og personlige fortellinger om virkelige hendelser og virkelige mennesker. Boka er ført i pennen av den talentfulle tyske bestselgende krimforfatteren Romy Hausmann.
I boka belyser og problematiserer Hausmann hva true crime er. Gjennom samtaler med pårørende, psykologer, advokater og politibetjenter presenterer Hausmann oss for elleve kriminalsaker. Intensjonen er ikke å lage underholdning av virkeligheten: I dagboknotater deler Hansumann egne refleksjoner og spør seg blant annet spør om hun som lever av å dikte opp forbrytelser, som går inn i tankene til gjerningspersoner, ofre og pårørende, kan forstå hva en virkelig forbrytelse innebærer? For en mor, for eksempel? En av samtalepartnerne er Natalia Handsjuk, moren til 24-årige Poebe Handsjuk som døde under særdeles mystiske omstendigheter i Melbourne i 2010. Etterforskerne tror det var selvmord, Poebes familie er overbevist om noe annet.
Alle de slemme jentene: Har lest en bok av Whitaker tidligere og det var Vi begynner med begynnelsen, og det var ikke helt min type roman. Den var vel stillestående og gjentakende, og får se med denne, da. Om jeg liker den bedre eller ikke.

Det er i småbyene man finner de største hemmelighetene.
Growing up in the small town of Winston, Pennsylvania feels like drowning. Leah goes to church every Sunday, works when she isn’t at school, and takes care of her baby brother, Owen. Like every girl in Winston, she tries to be right and good and holy. If she isn’t the Lord of the Wood will take her, and she’ll disappear like so many other girls before her.
But living up to the rigorous standards of the town takes its toll. One night, when Owen won’t stop screaming, Leah wishes him away, and the Lord listens. The screaming stops, and all that’s left in the crib is a small bundle of sticks tied with a ribbon.
Filled with shame and the weight of the town’s judgment, Leah is forced to cross the river into the Lord of the Wood’s domain to bring Owen back. But the devilish figure who has haunted Winston for generations isn’t what she expects. He tells her she can have her brother back―for the price of a song. A song that Leah will have one month to write.
It’s a bargain that will uncover secrets her hometown has tried to keep buried for decades. And what she unearths will have her questioning everything she’s been taught to fear.
After Jamie escapes his violent attack, she learns years later that Burt had infiltrated and destroyed other families too, leaving a trail of physically and emotionally broken stepchildren.
As adults, Jamie and the other survivors come together in group therapy where they discover that Burt has died in prison. All too familiar with her stepfather’s M.O. of faking his death, Jamie refuses to believe he’s dead, and the only way to be sure is to break into a funeral home to see his corpse.
But as it turns out, even in death, stepdaddy dearest still has a few deadly surprises left for his wayward stepchildren.
Inspired by The Stepfather movie franchise, THE STEPCHILDREN is a psychological horror novel that explores what happens to the child survivors of a serial killer whose evil continues to haunt them.
Renowned academic Dr Sparling seeks help with his project on a remote Irish village. Historical researchers Ben and Chloe are thrilled to be chosen—until they arrive...
The village is isolated and forgotten. There is no record of its history, its stories. There is no friendliness from the locals, only wary looks and whispers. The villagers lock down their homes at sundown. A nameless fear stalks the streets...
Nobody will talk—nobody except one little girl. Her story strikes dread into the hearts of the newcomers. Three times you see him. Each night he comes closer...
That night, Ben and Chloe see a sinister figure watching them. He is the Creeper. He is the nameless fear in the night. Stories keep him alive. And nothing will keep him away...
The Creeper is a masterful tale of horror and suspense, by one of Ireland's most talented emerging authors.
