I began to suspect something was afoot about halfway through, and it was fun having my suspicions confirmed at the end. Well done SA!

You sound cool. Welcome to GA!

Well, if it isn't one of my favorite tropes...the bodyguard (blame @Thirdly she started it). This is a good one. Thanks for sharing.

I have a couple: 3. Thomas Hansell 7. Sigel 8. Mrs. Ruiz 10. Paul 12. Gemma 13. Rory 14. Benny I can guarantee that at least one of them is probably wrong. Adding 5. Mike

I do so love a good light house mystery. Well done.

Nos and Cal are adorably awkward this first meeting. I love it.

Eww no.

It's one of the ones I read. I actually found out I read 8 instead of 7, which makes my guessing progress seem less impressive.

I think I have 6 of them. Considering I've only read 7 stories, I think it's pretty good.

Locked in 13. I should probably write some of this down before it gets lost in my brain somewhere.

Really powerful and well written story was a satisfying character arc. I like the dynamic energy woven into the writing, very well done.

I knew a couple quotes, but still have at least half the stories left to read.

So this is a western. I don't read a lot of them. I think I expected more...I don't know...cows and horses. Instead I got monsters and cosmic horror and some damn good writing. I like it.

I just finished The Ledger and it absolutely slays.

🤯 Okay, wow. This is so interesting. I'll openly admit that I was a bit intimidated by the length and the subject matter. And I still struggled with some of the aspects of the alternate timeline politics. However, the intrigue and the characters and the writing was great. The writing throughout was very good and suited the tone of the story excellently, but I really enjoyed these lines: A misplaced carriage, a bad fall on wet stone, a fire in a room no one was meant to enter, history has many quiet methods for correcting inconvenient courage. Frightened men were dangerous, but they were also impatient, and impatience made handles if a person knew where to grip. Inside, wrapped in cracked black oilcloth and bound with a cord hardened by age, lay a book no larger than a church Bible and thicker than a banker’s conscience. This was a great read and well worth the time. Thanks for sharing, SA.
