Out of the ashes by kara thomas
5 STARS! Wow, wow, wow! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Kara Thomas’s young adult books but she blew my mind with this adult thriller. I couldn’t put this book down, every opportunity I had my nose buried in this book. The plot twists were some of the twistiest I’ve…

Briardark by S.A. Harian
5 Stars Holy creepy and scary, I loved everything about this book. The cover is what originally peaked my interest and then I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. I’m too much of a wuss to go backpacking in the woods but it’s one of my favorite settings…

Spells for forgetting by Adrienne young
5 Stars While I haven’t been a huge fan of the author’s earlier works I’m completely obsessed with this book. Hands down one of my top 5 books I read in 2022. This book took my breath away with it’s gorgeous atmosphere and the romance. It also had a haunted,…

Malice House by Megan Shepherd
5 Stars Gothic atmosphere, spooky vibes, creepy creatures running amok, I loved this book. Aspiring artist Haven Marbury is returning to her late father’s remote house by the sea to clear it out after his death. Her father has warned her the house is haunted but she chalks it up…

The Luminaries by Susan Dennard
2 Stars The one thing I will warn about this book is don’t read the synopsis before going into it, you will literally be spoiled for everything “big” that happens in this book. Luckily I never read the synopsis before starting a book but when I glanced it over afterwards,…

The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
4 Stars Finally!! I was worried after rating some of their books low that I wouldn’t enjoy this author duo anymore but this book turned that right around for me. Marissa and Matthew Bishop are wealthy suburbanites that seem to have it all, as rich people tend to do. Until…

The Resting Place by Camilla Sten
5 Stars I officially have a new favorite thriller/horror author and I’m so excited! I loved The Last Village and this book was just as good! Eleanor suffers from prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize a person’s face, even if it’s her own family or closest friend. When she walks in…

A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw
3 Stars I will start off by saying my huge intrigue to this book was mainly it being compared to Night Shyamalan’s movie Village. I watched that movie for the first time when I was 13 and for some reason fell in love with it. I do agree that it…

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
3 Stars Wowza, this book was something. I genuinely can’t tell whether I enjoyed it or not, I’m not even sure I fully understood the book. My mind is very confused and I feel like I know nothing. This book is hands down, completely unlike anything I’ve ever read before,…

The Island by Adrian McKinty
5 Stars! Y’all, I don’t even know where to start with this review. My jaw is still on the floor after reading the last page. I have not read The Chain or any other books by this author but wow, do I want to read every single one of them…
