I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry
3.25
“On the day that I died, the sea was exceptionally flat. There was nothing to indicate that anything was amiss or that, in forty minutes, I would be out of this world.”
I Died on a Tuesday
by Jane Corry
QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️
Twenty years after an accident that changed her life forever. The person responsible is caught. But is there more to the story?
FINAL THOUGHTS 💭
This book is a hard number to put my finger on. It was a quick read and enjoyable. But I didn’t love it, and I can’t completely figure out the reason for that. It’s a crime drama with a lot of strings so be prepared to pay attention. But if crime dramas are you thing, I highly recommend it.

When you find out an author is lying about their heritage. Which is your heritage.

I can’t even be bothered to give you folks a quick run down of this book. I don’t even want to give it a rating, it was that infuriating and it’s even ruined Stolen Tongues for me.
This “prequel”, written by a white man I may add, is set in a reservation with made up Indigenous People but using very real history of trauma as the back drop with other Indigenous lore built in. Have we learned nothing?? Our history is not for white people to exploit. Blackwell should have left this as a standalone, I would have still had respect for him.
Read at your own risk, just know this girl cannot put her stamp on it.

Whispers of Blackwell House by Amélia Cognet
4.75
“My son. He may not see, but he notices things, and he seems to have noticed you. That is the consequence of you talking to him when you weren’t supposed to. You opened your door to him, and now, he will try to latch onto you like a leech. So, I am telling you: stay away from him. For your own good. And because losing another servant would be quite inconvenient.”
The Whispers of Blackwell House by Amélia Cognet
QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️
After a breakup and needing somewhere to live and fast, River finds a job opening providing room and board cleaning for the Blackwells. But she ends up getting more than she bargained for in this house.
FINAL THOUGHTS 💭
I love finding gems in KU, and this was definitely one of them. It reminds me … in a way of Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood. If you’re a fan of witchy haunted houses this would be a great pick. I found myself invested from the very beginning.

Once I found out the male narrator is the Antisemitic POS I decided to drop the book.
