[Review] The Hollows by Daniel Church

I didn’t know much about this book or its author, but the premise seemed too good to pass up, so I had to dive in. I love a good story about a small Hamlet in the middle of winter, cut off from the world by a snowstorm and unable to reach help. And that’s exactlyContinue

[Review] Lucky Girl: How I Became a Horror Writer: A Krampus Story by M. Rickert

This is a book that calls itself a Krampus Story, but really the Krampus/Christmas season is more of a backdrop to the events of the story rather than a main theme. The book starts out pretty messy. Five virtual strangers meet at a diner and decide to have a Christmas celebration so none of themContinue

[Review] What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

Before diving into T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead, I had only heard the term ‘sporror’ in passing, never quite sure exactly what it was. Even knowing the ‘definition’ it wasn’t something that really clicked in my mind. Not until I started reading, anyway. The book really takes its time in the beginning, setting theContinue

[Review] The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson

From the very first sentence, this book had me completely hooked. While I received an arc of this book from Netgalley, I got so behind in reviews due to my move last summer that I ended up purchasing the audiobook version, which is the version I ended up devouring. A bit on that, before IContinue

[Review] Fake it till you Bake It by Jamie Wesley

If you’re looking for the perfect read for a day off (either at home or on the beach – or whatever your preferred vacation spot is), Fake it ’til you Bake It is a really good choice. It’s a light, easy read and leaves you with that nice happy feeling that a good romance novelContinue

[Review] – Full Immersion by Gemma Amor

If you want to read a book that starts with a gut-punch and never takes you off the emotional roller-coaster, then your next read should be Full Immersion by Gemma Amor. Our protagonist, “Magpie” has written a letter, an obvious desperate plea for help. She has done something terrible and she doesn’t know how toContinue

[Review] Together We Burn by Isabel Ibañez

This book was such a delight from start to finish. As I’ve said before, I’m an absolute sucker for dragons. I don’t care if they’re the good guys, the bad guys, if they can talk or not. Just gimme the dragons. So of course when I saw there were dragons, I wanted to read it.Continue

[Review] Dark Stars Edited by John F.D. Taff

Looking at the authors in this book, I knew it was going to be something special the moment I requested it. My instinct on good books is rarely wrong, and this was no exception. Every story in this collection packed a different gut-punch that left me anxious and figuratively gasping for air when I reachedContinue

[Review] Leather and Sage – Taylor Shepeard

I went into this book knowing nothing about it but the title and the gorgeous cover. I have some mixed feelings on this one. I really enjoyed the premise, the use of witches as a supernatural being was done in a way I haven’t seen before, and I really enjoyed that. Shepeard also has aContinue

[Review] A Woman Built by Man Edited by S.H. Cooper and Elle Turpitt

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this anthology. A Woman Built by Man is everything I wanted out of it and so much more. Reading the first story, the first sentence, there was an instant reminiscence to how I felt, the raw emotion, of reading We Are Wolves, a charity anthology that came outContinue
