  • You Should Have Been Nicer to My Mom by Vincent Tirado

    You Should Have Been Nicer to My Mom by Vincent Tirado

    3 Stars Maybe I went into this book with too high of expectations after loving their adult debut but I struggled through this one. I get the horror was meant to be the family aspects but it got so old after awhile, I just wanted something crazy and horrifying to…

  • The Fox and the Devil by Kiersten White

    The Fox and the Devil by Kiersten White

    2 Stars I had hoped to enjoy this as much as I did Lucy Undying and man was I disappointed. I went into this with certain expectations and all I got was a wandering plot and a book that felt endless. Most of the story felt completely pointless to me…

  • Strangers In the Villa by Robyn Harding

    Strangers In the Villa by Robyn Harding

    4 Stars I have thoroughly enjoyed all of this author’s thrillers and this one was super gripping. I really enjoyed the setting and how descriptive she was with her writing. I kept thinking I had everything figured out and then a twist would occur and I’d be dumbfounded. My absolute…

  • Smalltown Slasher by Stephanie Rose

    Smalltown Slasher by Stephanie Rose

    3 Stars As a horror junkie I was super excited for this book. I loved the movie quotes at the beginning of each chapter, some of my favorite quotes and movies were mentioned. I loved the gore and the suspense with the killer and that certain scenes gave me goosebumps.…

  • When I Was Death by Alexis Henderson

    When I Was Death by Alexis Henderson

    4 Stars I knew this was going to be a deep, difficult read and wow, there were parts that were really hard to get through. This explored so much of death but in a very creative way that I really enjoyed. I have always loved Alexis Henderson’s writing style but…

  • The Only One Who Knows by Lisa M. Matlin

    The Only One Who Knows by Lisa M. Matlin

    2 Stars How was this book written by the same author as The Stranger Upstairs? I loved that book but this was beyond a struggle to get through. The plot felt like it jumped all over the place and for a shorter book it felt endless. The writing itself wasn’t…

    Turn Off the Light by Jacquie Walters

    5 Stars I knew I loved this author’s work after reading Dearest but she is now one of my favorite authors, this was insanely good. Her writing style is so gripping and captivating, I flew through this in a day. The setting to both stories was eerie but also enjoyable…

    Sweetside Motel by E.L. Chen

    5 Stars For such a short book this really packed a punch and I really, really enjoyed this. The writing style was beautiful and captivating and I absolutely loved the Norman Bates vibes. The twists did shock me and make me gasp and that ending was fantastic. The only complaint…

  • A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

    A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

    1 Star I’m sorry but this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I don’t understand what the point of it was, what even was the plot? Just a lady constantly worried about the woman she loved? If that’s the case this book could have been 100 pages…
