I honestly don’t know how I feel about The Reckoning by John Grisham. It was depressing for sure. The mystery kept me going but there reached a point where I almost didn’t care anymore, I just wanted to finish the book. First of all, none of the characters are really all that likeable.

This book feels like a darker version of Hocus Pocus which made my witchy soul very happy. This book starts off with a dark mystery surrounding one time of year in a small town. The place becomes […]
