The Six: A Dark Psychological Thriller

This story bend my imagination in so many numerical ways. Towards the end, I think my brain shaped itself into a hexagon. The writing was extremely descriptive, forcing a pencil into my hand to draw everything. Quickly my mind became the author's canvas, filling it with dark paint. As the paint crawled to every corner, I grew suspicious of every wall that surrounded me. I cld not believe that this monastery instead of safety and religion, would contain the most unthinkable terrors that would disturb even my own sleep.

Hey there, bookworms! Just finished "The Six" by Anni Taylor and wow, did it take me on a rollercoaster ride...but maybe not the fun kind. Right off the bat, the whole gambling addiction plot with Evie had me hooked. Really felt her desperation, you know? But then...well, things got a little crazy. Let's just say I wasn't exactly cheering for Evie's choices. The whole "miracle" solution felt a bit too easy, like skipping straight to level 10 in a video game. And the characters? Honestly, they just weren't that relatable. Their emotions seemed a bit flat, you know? Speaking of flat, those challenges Evie faced? More like outlandish! Giant robotic cubes, hidden rooms in monasteries...it felt a little too "Mission: Impossible" for my taste. Like, who even has the resources to pull something like that off much less the time? Don't even get me started on the ending. Talk about convenient! Suddenly everyone has the answers, Mom's got a new lease on life and suddenly gains common sense and Gray pulls a Harry Potter and just magically finds his way onto an island that even the guests can’t get off of. Come on! Look, I love a good fantasy as much as the next reader, but this one just felt a bit too...much. The plot was all over the place, the characters were one-dimensional, and the whole thing felt like a rough first draft. Honestly, I wouldn't even recommend it as a disposable airplane read. Will I be picking up another Anni Taylor book anytime soon? Probably not. This one left me feeling a little disappointed.
