The Loney is far more clever than one might initially think. After having devoured it in one sitting, I served it up to my book club for October the same year and noticed devilish little nuances that slipped past me the first go. Thirty Days of Darkness” by Jenny Lund Madsen – Book Review @OrendaBooks @JennyLundMadsen #ThirtyDaysOfDarkness #BookReview @edelweiss_squad @meganeturney November 26, 2023

Set a story in the Northern moors, add a remote community and The Devil himself, and you've got a recipe for sure-fire success, wouldn't you think? Well, for the most part, the author delivers (and delivers with exceptional confidence and skill), but there were a few parts that I felt strangely unmoved by, without really understanding why. Nothing changed in Underclough. Nothing happened. Not really. … elsewhere was always a place where the worst things happened. … The world outside the valley might well collapse but we wouldn’t necessarily feel the ripples here.” It's the story of a 17 year old girl named Karma🤣 who is in love with the three bullies at her school. Then on the " Devils' night party" day she " accidentally" crashes into one of the boys cars. I also normally don't like reverse harems because I always end up liking one hero over the other, but I actually liked them all in this book, probably equally too, so I was definitely rooting for them all. The end when they get together happened a bit too fast for me, but it helps that 2 of the heroes are for sure attracted to each other, though they still deny it lol, so I got some MM scenes, which I have to have in RH too. I'm not a fan of when it's the heroine gets to have s*x with everybody, and they only get to with her. Spread the jooyyyyy haha. So ya, the scene where they are all together definitely made me a happy camper. And by the end of the Middle Ages, the Devil had taken on the appearance of the horned, trident-wielding figure with hooves for feet and a long tail, an image that has endured to modern times.

Starred Review. Hurley explores the mysteries of human behavior and how they might explain strange events - not to mention the evil that men do - better than demonic influence...A complex and highly satisfying work." - Kirkus John Pentecost belongs to a Lancashire sheep farming family. Though he's moved away to Suffolk and married Kat, he feels a deep connection to his home community, the Endlands (the small cluster of farms, kept by the same families since time immemorial, can hardly be called a town). Yet the place also holds difficult memories: of being bullied as a boy, his mother's death, the strained relationship he has with his taciturn father. When his grandfather – a colourful local character known to all the Endlands as 'the Gaffer' – passes away, John is compelled to return home.

This actually wasn't too bad. I've been trying different stuff lately because legit no book is doing it for me lately, so I figured why not. I'm not a fan of any movie or book that takes a play on Groundhog day, but since this is RH and unique, it didn't sound too bad to pass the time with, and I ended up even enjoying it. Okay so normally I hate bully stories and high school stories and first person present tense stories. But this one came recommended off of some blog I was reading and I like time loop stories so I gave it a try. I really enjoyed it, mostly because I liked seeing how she tried different things everyday. For other conditions, sufficient studies to determine effective doses are unavailable. In addition, devil’s claw has only been used for up to one year in studies. However, devil’s claw appears to be safe for most people in doses up to 2,610 mg per day ( 29). Alas, the ending I wanted - which had to do with a first time mother to be, voices in the snow, and the death of a boy - didn’t twist up like I’d hoped. This is very well written, absolutely, but not the five star jaw dropper uncovered in The Loney.I felt like the heroine grew over the course of the book which is one of the main things that I want of happen in a book. The author fulfilled that brief well here. Perhaps the most lasting images of the Devil are associated with hell, which the Bible refers to as a place of everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. Still, the Bible doesn’t state the Devil will reign over hell, just that he’ll eventually be banished there. The eerie start of the book sets the tone - the story of The Devil visiting the Endlands, and the curse he lay on the land. As we will also learn, there are hundreds of stories that can be told about this place, but as our narrator, John Pentecost, reveals,
