In case you missed it — we read and reviewed The Compound last week and while it’s not traditional horror it’s a psychological thriller full of creepy vibes. The perfect companion read for watching Love Island Games. 📚💙#booktok #bookstagram #booksky
Orange background. Center features a cover of the book as a compound by Aisling Rawle. The title reads: Spooky season thrillers and the bottom reads podcast ep out now. Orange background. Center features a cover of the book as a compound by Aisling Rawle. The title reads: Spooky season thrillers. Additional text reads: Dacey: the protagonist was impossible to care about and the outside world is referenced only vaguely so there’s no context to ground the story. But it’s fun and easy to read, perfect for a vacation or sitting on the beach. 3.5/5. Nico: some interesting bits and a very easy read, but the MC is completely vacant and so the story didn’t land for me 3/5.
